Look at the brief Zoom Guide created for the Cracker Barrel seminar created and shared by Anita.
I've created a crazily detailed handout to track the status of your iPhone or iPad. Print this PDF two sided and in color for each device. Currently it is tuned to iOS 13 and after learning more about iOS 14 the details will be updated.
The Fall App Catalog is ready to download from the Apps page. First time members are encouraged to print these 12 pages back to back as a reference. Only two apps are new this semester. The Cheatsheet page has not been updated (You might ask "What have you been doing during this pandemic?" and ... you don't want to know) but as this semester continues new discoveries will be added.
Also on the Apps page are direct links to the apps for Get or Purchase with suggestions on what apps to have on hand Day 1, 2 and 3.
Time to check your Settings > iTunes & App Store > App Updates ... is this enabled? Or are you in charge of when apps are updated? If you take control of app updates then before updating a critical app plan on reading the reviews and even app developer forums before updating.
Cynthia just reported that Adobe Lightroom Mobile v 5.4 lost some photos and presets. Oops. The "loss is not recoverable" according to an Adobe engineer's post on the forum. Read the reviews on Adobe Lightroom for iPad v 5.4.1 resolved the bug responsible for losing photos - released 2 days after 5.4.0 with additional language support.
So this could happen to non-Adobe app users as well. What do you do to protect your cherished images? I often think of our app stacking workflow as: 1) take the shot, 2) take additional shots at other angles, 3) process your best photo using various apps and saving new versions while maintaining image resolution, 4) print or share, 5) save to an archive.
We have many cloud-based services to store working and final images. Is one service enough? Can you backup to a computer and to a cloud service?
After all, our iPhones have finite storage space. After processing our best photos and making a backup, take time to remove duplicate or supplemental photos from all devices by deleting them from the Photos app.
Here is a behind the scenes view of my recent laptop setup for Zoom meetings. Playing with curtains to let in some light but not too much is a challenge. On a Mac laptop the PhotoBooth app might be helpful to show your webcam picture then make adjustments to curtains, position or background.
Original image stylized in Painnt app and merged with original using Image Blender. Imported image to Keynote slide to add text details and export as .jpg image.
My main setup will be using a desktop Mac with iPhone, iPad, earbuds/headphones, The iMac is on a pedestal to raise the webcam up - a cardboard box. :-D
Watch for Spring 2020 Gallery link here soon.
But meanwhile here are quick links from our past efforts. Collages from Spring 2019 Gallery. There is no audio soundtrack. Other recent work was posted at Spring 2018 Sample Gallery and 2017 Gallery iPhone Photography Seminar.
Much of this site improves each semester but the details of each Day are refreshed to reflect current anticipated activities. Now that we live in a Controlled-Environment-Zoom, CEZ, new plans are underway. Expect outlines on August 10th and gradually more details will appear. Stay Tuned!
