The Desert Camera Club's newsletter, e-focus, is only distributed via this website. It is directed to members and others interested in digital photography and in using image processing software to enhance images. It is produced by the Club's Digital Image Processing Special Interest Group (DIPSIG). It contains tutorial articles, information on new products (and where to buy them), news about Club and other events, reports of DIPSIG meetings, hints, links to useful websites, and discussions of advances in digital photography.

e-focus welcomes readers who are not Club members and appreciates all feedback, both good and bad! We welcome ideas on how to improve this newsletter within the limits of a volunteer effort. We also welcome all submissions, whether or not they are written by Club members. All kudos, brickbats, ideas, contributions, suggestions etc. should be sent to efocus@desertcameraclub.org.

All copyright is retained by the authors of the articles.

Please note: There will be no issues of e-focus in June, July, or August. The editor is taking the summer off! The next issue will appear in October, 2004.
