Lynda Buske will show how you how to work with the digital images to straighten\, sharpen\, adjust light\, remove scratches\, lines and spots using free software (Photoscape X). She will also briefly discuss the possible use of AI to improve your images and how best to display and share them afterwards (e.g.\, collage\, photobook). \nLynda is an avid photographer who has penned the Through the Lens column in the OPCUG newsletter for the past 6 years. She has given over 140 presentations on a wide variety of photographic topics at many organizations\, including the Ottawa Public Library\, the Orleans Photo Club\, the OPCUG\, and others.
