Pizza Party
Beginner’s Q&A at 6:30 followed by pizza around 7 – 7:30
The topic of the main presentation at the April 24 meeting will be FaceTime. FaceTime is Apple’s video phone call app. Arnold Silver will describe its features and do a demo. The latest version of FaceTime now provides for conference calls with up to 32 participants.
Since the FaceTime presentation is not expected to fill the hour, it will be supplemented by a selection of Don McAllister’s Screencast Online tips.
George Wilde will bring us up to date on the latest news and upcoming developments from Apple. He says:
“During the June 4th Keynote Address at this year’s Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC18), Apple made significant announcements regarding upcoming updates to their entire suite of software. These updates, which will be released in the next few months, are likely to affect all of us regardless of whether we are Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Apple TV users. There are major software updates to all of these platforms coming this fall with the announcement of the next versions of macOS (called Mojave), iOS (iOS 12), watchOS (watchOS 5) and tvOS (tvOS 12). In this presentation I will be summarizing the major upcoming changes and new features incorporated in this software. The good news is that performance, especially with older devices, will likely be substantially improved. But what devices will this new software work on and how can it benefit you? These questions and more will be covered in my presentation.”

Â The presentation will include the requirements for using this system, how to upgrade, why you should upgrade, and finally a few of the new features in the system with some demos.

Affinity Photo(by Allison Sheridan via Screencastsonline)
Photoshop is a fantastic app, but for some people it’s too powerful (or too complex) and for others, they don’t want to be paying for an app on a subscription basis.
Affinity Photo is a terrific alternative to Photoshop – all for a single one off payment!
There’s so much to cover, Allison will be featuring Affinity Photo in two parts – in this initial episode, she’ll take a look at using the wide range of Apple Photo Extensions provided as part of Affinity Photo.
In a future episode, she’ll take a look at using Affinity Photo as a standalone application
