<p>Next Thursday, January 28 at Makers Local I’ll be teaching a class
on the basics of GIMP. It’s a very powerful tool for editing imagery
and it’s free, which makes it ideal for enhancing photos or graphics
work. For a one night class, I’m going to cover the most basic tools,
and the most obvious applications for first-time users, like touching
up photos or creating a simple graphic or text editing. Benalene is
going to help by going over the basics of InkScape, another freeware
application which that has good vector graphics tools.</p>
<p>If you’ve got photos you want to touch up with common issues (weird
lighting, red-eye, etc) we’ll show easy ways to fix them. Also, if you
want some quick ways to add a little polish to imagery for a website,
business card, or other personal project, we’ll talk about the most
common techniques.</p>
<p>You’ll probably want to bring your laptop or netbook with GIMP and
InkScape already installed so you can play with the tools we’re talking
about as we go.</p><p><br></p><p>Brian/MrWorld<br></p>
