Advanced Image Editing with Gimp

Next Meeting:  Friday April 7th
Where: Cantina Quilting Room
When: 1:30 (come at 12:30 to get free software installed on your laptop)

Most of us have either a fancy point and shoot camera or a smartphone that we take picture with.  In today’s digital world you don’t have to be satisfied with that picture.  With some free software and a little practice you can enhance or change that picture so it’s perfect.  Here are some examples that we’ll cover in the class:

Give a picture some pop!
We’ve all seen that iPhone 7 commercial.  The one where the iPhone 7 ($899) can take a picture with an in-focus subject and a burred background.  The iPhone 7 has two cameras to do it.  After the class you’ll be able to do it for free.

Get Rid of Stuff You Don’t Want
I hate it when a picture is almost perfect but there’s something in there (photobomb) that you want removed.  Sometime you can touch-up a picture so no one will ever know!

Major Image Whacking
Sometimes you like a picture but wish it was composed a little differently. Since you cant ask people to sit again for the picture you’ll have to do it yourself.
