Visual Resources Association

We are proud to be a member and supporter of the Visual Resources Association.

Howard Brainen, Two Cat's founder and CEO, serves as an officer in VRA-NorCal. Howard has also taught workshops at several VRA national and regional conferences, and teaches digital imaging at the Summer Educational Institute for VRA and ARLIS/NA.

Free downloads are available below on some of the topics covered in these workshops.

Although we will miss the 2009 conference in Toronto, Two Cat Digital is a major sponsor of the event. Look for our name sponsoring sessions and the website. We will also provide four $250.00 gift certificates for the VRAffle. If you win one of those, it can be applied towards any scanning or consulting project.
