Week 10

 
I took this photo of an old truck my dad has out behind our house, I added my name as a logo.
 
 
 
 This photo is of my dog Riley (left) and my neighbors dog Casey (right) They are best buds and Casey stops by frequently to play with Riley. I used the cloning tool to remove some of the small marks in this photo. I eliminated the slide in the background. Some white specks in the grass. I also used it to remove the brown patches in Casey's fur.
 

Then end result


I used text to describe this action scene

Burn, Dodge and Filters

Before
 




After: Changed Contrast & Brightness, changed the color balance to add more red tones, Also used the Whirl and pinch filter
 
Used the paint brush to draw a heart on the tree






Before & After
I used the Burn to darken around the dog, I also used it on his eyes, noses and name tag to give more depth.  I used the dodge to lighten the dogs fur. I need more practice with the dodge and burn tool to get a better at balance the right about of light and dark.

 
Before&After
I used the old time filter to make this photo black and white, I also changed the brightness and contrast to give the image more depth.

Week 7 Selection Tools

This week I used GIMP to edit two photos. I used the move tool to reposition one photo on top of another. I cropped the flower photo, and made it transparent using the Alpha channel. I used both lasso and rectangle tools with the delete key to make the flower image appear as though it is floating in the clouds. I learned how to use many of the tools during this exploration of GIMP.
