NJMUG July meeting will held at the Clifton Allwood Library on Tuesday June 15th at 6:30PM in our old room.
Adobe hired the main Google engineer and many of his team responsible for creating the computational photography used on Pixel phones. Computational photography in the mobil space basically means two things; underexpose images to reduce highlight clipping and capture multiple when the user presses the shutter button. This new Adobe team have just released a beta of their new Adobe iPhone camera app called Project Indigo which has some very unique features. According to Adobe; what’s different about Project Indigo is;
“First, we under-expose more strongly than most cameras. Second, we capture, align, and combine more frames when producing each photo - up to 32 frames as in the example above. This means that our photos have fewer blown-out highlights and less noise in the shadows. Taking a photo with our app may require slightly more patience after pressing the shutter button than you're used to, but after a few seconds you'll be rewarded with a better picture.”
Bruce will demonstrate Project Indigo for us which you can currently download for free from the Apple App Store.
Louis will share with us the 25 Best Free Software / Apps for 2025.
Catherine will share with us Phonicsmaker a tool used by teachers to create custom phonics resources, such as stories, word lists, and writing prompts. It can make phonics learning more engaging for children by demonstrating how sounds combine in real words and using stories to improve attention and memory.Last, Mark will show you how your Amazon Fire Stick can be used to get free streaming TV by downloading and authorizing a few apps.

Date: 2/9/2022
To the New Jersey Macintosh Users Group,
I'm now a 51-year-old professional in New York City, but I grew up in New Jersey at a time when Apple was first rolling out the Macintosh. I now have two teenage sons myself, and after I was discussing what I did for extracurricular activities in high school, on a lark I looked up the New Jersey Macintosh Users Group, which I was involved in starting up. I was absolutely delighted to find the web page below referencing my participation, and I wanted to say thank you so much for memorializing the group's history. I'm glad it continues, and I'm writing to say how much I appreciate the costless but meaningful gesture of remembering the group's history. I'm only sorry I wasn't on a mailing list to be able to commemorate the 20th anniversary! Wishing best of luck, and another 35 years of success, to the New Jersey Macintosh Users Group!
Very truly yours,
Michael ("Mike") Waldorf
