About this webinar

Excire Photo 2024 is a new program that lets you automatically add keywords and your own custom ones; search for one or more images by free text, keyword(s), groups or individual people; identified faces; GPS locations; event; main colour in an image; by camera model, camera lens, lens focal length used, shutter speed used, and more. All of this metadata is written directly to your files or to XMP sidecar files, so the information stays with your images, not trapped in a proprietary database. This feature rich program is available for Windows and MacOS, even on M1 and later processor chips. Learn how this software can relieve you of much time and effort in organizing your digital images.

    Already happen to use Excire Foto 2025 as my last step in my Photo Image Workflow. I have six apps before I get to the final stage of Excire. I found, like all the webinars, he provided me some tips on things I have not previously used in Excire Foto 2025 regarding genealogy specifically. Thanks for the webinar.

    I am on an M2 MacBook 15 but I found the screens Art showed were too small to follow his examples. Good information on Excire.

Disclosing Use of AI for Writing Assistance in Genealogy
When is it okay to use artificial intelligence tools for writing assistance? If it's okay to use AI, how and when should we disclose the use of AI tools? Learn how various applications of generative AI -- from grammar assistance to generating new text -- may need to be approached differently. We will go over specific methods for disclosing and citing AI tools, such as mentioning the use of generative AI in the limitations section of a report and citing the specific AI tool in a reference note citation.

As genealogy professionals, we are always exploring new ways to captivate, educate, and motivate our audience. Enter PowerPoint to video converters — these revolutionary tools empower us to transform our static presentations into engaging videos. It's time to give our PowerPoint presentations the upgrade they deserve. In today's fast-paced digital era, transforming your PowerPoint presentations into dynamic videos can elevate your content's appeal and broaden its reach across multiple platforms.

From Research to Writing: AI Tools for Genealogists
Writing about your genealogy research can be challenging. Assembling genealogical conclusions requires time, persistence, and dedication. Learn how generative AI tools can help - whether you're writing a biography, research report, or proof argument. Tools like ChatGPT and Claude can turn research logs into reports and timelines into narrative. Providing text to the AI tools help increase accuracy and limit errors. Generative AI tools can increase your writing efficiency, but your personal style may be lost. Learn how to maintain your unique voice while increasing productivity. We will also discuss when to disclose writing assistance from AI tools and how to cite them. Correction: In slide 36, Nicole mentions that the land Daniel Elder patented was within the Ottawa area of British Columbia. Ottawa was actually the location of the land patent office as the capital of Canada, and that's why the location was included in the land patent. The land he patented was in British Columbia along the Railway Belt.
