Sharpening

I have found a very good article on sharpening with CS4 and Adobe Camera Raw. It is on the Members' Only page of the club website.

PAGB News

The latest edition of PAGB News is on the Notice Board page of the club website.  It includes details of a photographic holiday in Turkey, which looks very interesting.  Details also of an extra PAGB Awards assessment day to be held in December 2010.  There was an 18 month waiting list for anybody wanting to take part so this is a welcome addition.
