[General] Gimp Cass, Thursday the 28th

[Brian Walker]

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.

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.

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.
