Rachel_PhotoEditing

My puppy Brett is super cute, but a work of art?! I don't know. But with the GIMP editing software his photograph can look like a masterpiece!

Here is the original photo: I erased the background first: I used the bucketfill tool to put in a new background: I then used a filter tool. Under the artistic tools, you can go to GIMPressionist and select exactly what artistic task you would like to do with the photo. I selected dotify and made Brett look like a mosaic: I reverted back to my previous picture with the blue square background and did another filter tool. This time, I selected the straw tool, which makes the photo look like it is made out of sticks: Neat, huh! I enjoyed working with GIMP. I had never used the tool before, but I can tell you can do even more with the different layering functions. I want to find a tutorial on it. I think I will download this on my laptop, as I don't have a photo editor on it and this seems to be almost as good as photoshop without the price tag. The only thing that I don't like is that some of the tools are not very easy to find. I would not have figured out how to change the size of my image if it had not been for Annette Lamb's guide to GIMP.
