Photoshop is a complex and diverse image-editing program that has been around for 30 years. This demonstration is for those completely new to Photoshop and who don’t know where to start or for those who are considering Photoshop and want to know what it can do as a photo editing solution. This demonstration/discussion session will focus on the photograph editing capabilities of Photoshop and will:

• Present an overview of the five main programs that Adobe has for editing photographs. There will be discussion on the basic differences and uses between Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Lightroom CC, Lightroom CC Classic and Camera Raw.
• Discuss the importance of a nondestructive workflow and demonstrate how Photoshop addresses that.
• Provide information on several available resources for self-help and step-by-step instruction.
• Primarily be a live demonstration of some of the capabilities of Photoshop. Presentations will strive to work from the easier and more basic concepts to more advanced tasks. Topics will start with Photoshop tools, workspace, and menu layouts. From there the demonstration will cover such areas as selections, brushes, masking, layers, blending modes, and filters.

Welcoming Diversity
8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 17, Vintage Room
The award-winning NCBI Welcoming Diversity workshop consists of a series of incremental, participatory activities that empower individuals of all ages and backgrounds to take leadership in building inclusive communities in their workplaces and neighborhoods.

Workshop objectives include:

• Celebrate similarities and differences
• Recognize the misinformation that people have learned about various groups
• Identify and heal from internalized oppression - the discrimination members of an oppressed group target at themselves and each other
• Claim pride in group identity
• Understand the personal impact of discrimination through the telling of stories
• Learn hands-on tools for dealing effectively with bigoted comments and behavior

NCBI stresses that every individual is important. As a result, we address a wide range of diversity issues during the workshop, including race, ethnicity, gender, social class, age, sexual orientation, religion, disability, job, and life circumstance. Diversity includes EVERYONE!
