Overexposed image? No problem–adjust the exposure in editing mode. Wish your photo could be black and white instead of color? Choose a filter and change the ambiance of your image. Does the main object of your picture seem lost among extraneous details? Use the cropping feature to focus the viewer’s eye on the most important part of the image. These examples are just a few of the many ways you can turn an average image into something special. Have fun editing your pictures with the many options in your Mac’s Photos app.

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art practiced in many styles. The “sun” style, which is the form Andy Stewart will be offering, has been the subject of rigorous scientific studies that reveal its health benefits, including cardiovascular support, improved muscle strength and flexibility, and increased balance for fall prevention. The practice entails a fluid movement and flow produced through the integration of mind and body. It has in fact been called “meditation in motion” and that phrase probably captures the essence of the practice better than any other. It is about balance, both physical and mental.
