Photo Editing and Flickr Fun
With this picture of Holy Spirit Chapel in LeMans hall, I experimented a bit with Gimp- a photo manipulation tool available for download. This freeware helped me edit my original picture to become the picture below. With Gimp I was able to blur the photo, rotate the image, add color as a blend into the photo, change the lighting, change the perspective and add a caption on the photo itself. The Gimp program itself was very user-friendly and I had fun making a new image out of an already-beautiful picture. Flickr was used to upload the pictures to the internet and from there I sent them straight from my Flickr account to my blog because both are linked through Google sites. I wish I would have worked with cropping the new photo, so the edited picture would be square, but I left me edits at this and have a new image that is very different from what I s tarted out with. I want to keep using Gimp and become familiar with the ins and outs of photo editing to make all of my photos better-looking and more professional. It's a great freeware available to all through a simpledownload and I worked with the program for my video screencast project last week and loved it.
