Kristine+Coffel+-+Photo+Editing

I took the opportunity to explore three different photo editing tools I had available on my PC. This first modification was made using Gimp 2, which is a freeware program. I used the original picture on the left, and using GIMP, I used the neon effect. This modification creates a neon enhanced version of the original photo.

The above set of photos takes the original photo on the left, then using Adobe Fireworks CS3, which has a fairly easy set of modification tools, I cropped all the extraneous background out of the photo, resulting in an image of just the subject. Even though Fireworks is a vector graphics program, it is straight forward to use when resizing images and performing cropping operations.

The above set of photos was modified using Adobe Photoshop. I used one of the artistic filters available to create this posterized image. Photoshop provides many filters, effects, and other tools to modify the original photos. These features can prove handy if one wants to create artwork from their digital photo collection.
