This free program will take place in the Ewing Senior and Community Center, 999 Lower Ferry Road.\u00a0 It will be preceded by a question and answer session during which the audience can direct computer questions to the CLC\u2019s all-volunteer faculty.\u00a0 The CLC \u201cComputer Tips and Tricks\u201d programs are presented as a public service on the first Tuesday of each month.\u00a0 No prior registration is required.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u201cYou\u2019ll never go back to paying hundreds of dollars for name brand software after you see what you can do with these 10 free applications,\u201d says LeMasney. \u201cWhile I was personally raised on Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Corel DRAW!, they\u2019ve got nothing on these free and open source tools. I plan to demonstrate how to find great, free tools to design advertisements, posters, layouts, images, and logos, and I\u2019ll explore tools that allow you to work in photographic, three-dimensional, vector, bitmap modes.\u201d\u00a0 LeMasney will also discuss the rise in popularity of open source software and what he describes as \u201cthe free yet fantastic alternatives to commercial applications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For further information about the April 6 program, courses or directions, call 609-882-5086, 609-883-1776, Ext. 6205 or visit the SeniorNet web site at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ewingsnet.com\/\">www.ewingsnet.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Presentation: <a title=\"GDocs presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/presentation\/d\/1wN1UG4QFqL-_KivC1-C8OOcXLP9xL7wFiGfE6UFHvQ4\/edit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/docs.google.com\/present\/edit?id=0Ad-YsRMv5bPqZGNrZm05ZndfMjE0ZmNtNW01ZHA&amp;hl=en<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top:10px;height:15px;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border:medium none;float:right;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lemasney.com\/consulting\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/pixy.gif?w=1170&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image by lemasney via Flickr A Special Reminder from The Computer Learning Center at Ewing CLC Tips &amp;
