Downloading Photos

Thank you, Mike Salter, for a wonderful, informative, and entertaining presentation about downloading photos from our cameras to our computer and how to arrange them into folders for easy access.  We had 52 people present that benefited from the program as there was something of value for everyone at every level of experience.  Numerous members of the photo club came to share and learn from the information as well.

With Michael’s past teaching experience, he was able to show step by step how to create folders, move them, rename them, and organize photos so we can keep them organized within our computer.  

Two memory card readers with multiple ports were given as raffle prizes.

Montez Beard will fill in as Treasurer/Secretary to get the season rolling so dues will be accepted at the next meeting.  Bring $10 to join for the entire season or $3 if you just want to attend per meeting.

At our next meeting on December 8, Mike will present basic spreadsheet skills.  The goal will be to create our own telephone rosters that can be sorted alphabetically or by site number.  The techniques can then be applied to many other uses around home.

The December 15 meeting is titled:  Tips, Tricks, Terms, and Explore.  The presentation will help us become more familiar with the different screens and functions within Windows 7 and our web browser.  We hope to see you there!

If you decide to bring your laptop, be sure your battery is fully charged as electrical connections are not available.

Meetings start promptly at 9:30 but you’re welcome to come a little early to help set up tables and chairs AND meet fellow computer users. 

If you have questions or suggestions for future meetings, contact us at our club email:  palmcreekcomputerclub@gmail.com

Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m.
