    This is the photo editing software are promised by Jeff Maresh:

    Free (non-trail version) basic photo editing software – all support TIF/TIFF and JPG files unless otherwise noted. I haven’t tried any of them but read reviews on them and confirmed file formats whenever possible. All have a free non-trial version and appear to be relatively easy to download, install, and user. Most of these will likely have YouTube videos on usage if you need help.

    Hi everyone! The number of AI text-to-image platforms keeps growing. If you are interested in experimenting with AI, here are a few of the platforms that are worth checking out:

    (1) Midjourney
    (2) Dall-E 2
    (3) Playground AI
    (4) Dream by WOMBO
    (5) NightCafe
    (6) Canva (this is integrated into their overall site)
    (7) Dream Studio (Stable Diffusion)

    There are a number of other platforms beyond this list, but I am most familiar with the ones I mentioned.
    Finally, remember that YouTube is your friend when it comes to tutorials. There are many good tutorials
    explaining the ins and outs of most of the major AI platforms, advice on how best to use prompts.
    Feel free to email me if you have any follow-up questions that might want to discuss. Good luck…..

    I have a Solo Show scheduled for later this year. It is not my first one however, I am anxious about it and I’m afraid no one will come (I took a 10 year break away from the art scene).

    What steps can I take to be sure people will come out, that the quality of the work/show will be of an excellent presentation. How do I sell the work and do I sell smaller prints, a book or giveaways (what kind of giveaways?) It’s in a public library gallery – Do I serve food, drinks or music? What day and hours are better (the show will be September-December with an opening taking place in October 2024)?

    Hey Crista, I’m looking forward to today’s session, but need to leave early. May I check in at the beginning of the conversation?

    Thanks, Robert
