7:00 PM - Speaker: Khaniff Lau
Synopsis: Building a website is no straightforward task. Before any
kind of aesthetic designing or coding, you need to plan how your site
is going to be laid out, where the elements are going to be and how
the user is being directed from one page to another. Traditionally,
these are done by scribbling on scraps of paper, and as we all know,
doodling abilities can vary.

Speaker: Patrick Lim Director of Finnz.i (Exhibitions and Events)

Speaker : Leon Lim
Synopsis : We know that there are channels in photoshop. So
what is it and how can we use it in a creative process ? I will show
how we can use channels to create a selection to bring elements from
different images together to form a design.


8:20 PM - Title: Adobe New Extensions Manager and the Extract filter
Speaker Stefano Virgilli (Director of Vox Labs)
Synopsis: Many may have felt lost when in PhotoshopCS4 were looking for
the Filter>Extract. In fact, from version CS4, it does not appears
anymore by default. It has to be downloaded from Adobe website.
To simplify this, Adobe created a useful resource platform called
Extension exchange. So anybody can download directly from the website,
or alternatively use the new application Extension Manager to get
extensions for any Adobe software.Stefano Virgilli, Adobe Certified Instructor, will brief
about the new extension management system in version CS4, and give a
demo on how to outline a person with the Extrac filter and change the
background.
