Demonstration of CanVis by Chris Haynes of NOAA Coastal Services Center (December 14, 2 pm EDT/11 am PDT/7 pm GMT).  CanVis is easy-to-use image editing software that allows natural resource professionals with minimal computer skills to create photo-realistic simulations for visualizing potential impacts from coastal development or sea level rise. Users create visual simulations by duplicating elements already in a digital photograph, adding elements from other images to a digital photograph, and/or taking advantage of CanVis’s extensive element library to insert elements (such as hotels, houses, marinas) into digital photographs. The software also allows elements to be resized, color-adjusted, and have shadows added to create realistic looking simulations, and it allows text to be added to photographs. Tutorial videos show how to use each editing tool.
