Alan Raul travelled to Pismo Beach and vicinity for shots of sunsets, sea caves and staircases.
Using layering, he embedded a small image inside a larger one and used 
On One Hdr ;

Kaye Raul explored the slideshow creation abilities of 
Adobe Photoshop Beta 25.11.
Kaye showed a video that showed how to add snapping text from metadata and remove unwanted elements with the distraction tool.
John Waller, having installed 
Adobe Photoshop Beta 25, used it to remove power lines, people and miscellaneous distractions, apparently calling upon artificial intelligence.

HoneyviewThe group learned that 
Honeyview has been updated and renamed 
Bandiview;

November 10th will be Transformations; Share Images Showing Change and Explain the Creative Process
