A little detail on the meeting…
This was a continuation from the previous meeting. We had a look at different file formats used by digital images and who to search for files using wildcards. We then looked at additional metadata that is included in a digital photo.
We finished this section with a quick look at free photo apps on Windows, macOS and Google Photos.
During the meeting a question came up about transferring large files or a large amount of data across the internet. There is a limit of 25MB for Google mail attachments. One suggestion was to use a website WeTransfer, link is below.
Lastly, one member's Facebook account had been cloned using their Facebook photo and access to their Facebook friends. We had a look at the privacy settings to limit who has visibility of your friends on Facebook. There is a privacy checkup you can use on Facebook to view and change your settings in one place.
