Dave Chmura, developer of ProfCast, Wednesday August 5, 2009 at 7:00 p.m.
07/03/2009 05:35 PM
Dave Chmura will be our special guest at our August 5, 2009 main meeting. He is part of the team at HumbleDaisy.com, which is the group that develops ProfCast!
ProfCast is an all-in-one presentation-to-podcast tool for the Mac that offers an integrated workflow for creating, recording, and publishing podcasts. It provides live presentation recording, synchronization of slides with audio, Keynote and PowerPoint support, RSS generation, and publishing support.
All elements of your presentation, including slide timings, bullet point builds, and voice narration, are recorded. ProfCast allows you to record your presentation as you give it, using either Apple's Keynote or Microsoft PowerPoint! ProfCast also helps you publish your recorded presentation as an enhanced podcast. ProfCast is the perfect solution for educators and professionals looking to
provide more flexible, richer media to supplement traditional pedagogical tools such as books, course packs, or notes. ProfCast is the only application that makes it easy to turn the lecture you are already giving into an enhanced podcast. The result will be complete.
The most significant feature of ProfCast is that it integrates with the educator’s existing teaching process, and doesn’t require additional time to have full impact. It's as simple as Launch, Load and Lecture!
The event is made possible by dues paying members of the Chicago Apple User Group, and their support is greatly appreciated. The logistics of the event are:
Wednesday, August 5, 2009
7:00 p.m.—8:30 p.m.
The Apple Store
679 N. Michigan Avenue
2nd Floor Theater
Chicago, IL 60611
We expect another full house, so get there early to get the best seats!
Best wishes,

Hi everyone,
We are very pleased to announce that world famous Photoshop artist Bert Monroy will be our featured guest on Wednesday, June 3, 2009. Bert is a member of the Adobe Photoshop Hall of Fame, and the host of a weekly online show called PixelPerfect:
Here is how Bert describes his talk before us that evening:
"Beyond the photo retouching capabilities, Adobe Photoshop is an extraordinary tool for image creation. Using software as his brush and canvas, Bert will offer a Photoshop demonstration that will explain features that are usually ignored by most users. Filters, brushes and layer styles will be taken beyond their face value and turned into tools that adapt to any given situation. Bert will inspire the casual Photoshop enthusiast to take their imagination to new heights."
He has used a Mac since 1984, and continues to use Macs as his design tool of choice. He has presented around the world, and published some of the most influential books ever written on Photoshop. You can see his most recent book here:
