Computer images for beginners.
Course: Wednesdays 14 July to 11 August 2010 (10.30 am to 1 pm).
This will be a short course on 5 successive Wednesdays, 14 July to 11 August.
The course will be an introduction to doing things with digital images (probably mainly photographs) and managing the results. Course topics will include:
- Learn how to use Irfanview — the free image program we recommend and use at the Agewell Computer Club.
- How to make digital copies of old photographs using the image scanners at The Lawns.
- How to process and manage photos from a digital camera.
- How to upload photos (and other digital images) from your computer to a website, or attach them to an email.
- Finally, we will get you to do something with the results – for example, put your images on a website, add to a Facebook photo album, create a Flickr album, get started with HistoryPin – something useful to you.
The course is for beginners, but not absolute beginners. You should at least be able to send an email without help. You do not need to have your own computer at home.
We can manage 12 participants in the teaching area, so that is the maximum number for the course. You can ask to reserve a place (for the whole course, not individual sessions) by sending an email to acc@lawns.org.uk .
As always, you should be a Hackney resident aged between 50 to 65.
Historypin.
This short course is part of a longer course using Historypin which we would be halfway through if we had not been sabotaged by our ISP. Find out more about Historypin at:
The full Historypin course will happen, probably September.
