 * __Digital Photo Editing__**

I love manipulating my photos and usually use some scrapbooking software I really like. Above is a picture I took that had a lot of shadows. I wanted to try a new editing software, so I tried the GIMP program. Below is the photo after I used the color tools "Brightness/Contrast" to lighten and brighten.

__Other Special Features__



Above is the original picture I took of my son swinging. Below is after it was rotated by going to Image, then Transform, and then Rotate 90 degrees.

I decided to have fun with the picture using one feature (newsprint) that is not available on the software I usually use and by adding a border, which I rarely do with my personal photos but often do on the webpage I manage for my school. I found the newsprint feature under "Filters", then "Distorts", then "Newsprint". The border feater is under "Script-FU", then "Decor", then "Add border".

I always like "playing" with my photos. It did take me a while to navigate the GIMP software since I was not familiar with the features or where to find some of the tasks, such as rotate. I enjoyed everything about this part except loading my pictures onto the wiki page itself. I am struggling with this new skill.
