Playing with The Gimp

[samuel07]

Just starting to learnhow to use Gimp.

Which photo do you like better.

 

[toolcrazy]

The bottom one shows the purple better.

To me,the bottom one looks brighter and a bit sharper. I guess that is the 'Gimped' one?

Which one looks closer to the real pen?

PS; nice pen BTW

 

[JimGo]

I like the top one. While the bottom one shows the purple better, the silver looks harsher in that pic.

I need to stop watching Pulp Fiction...

The 2nd one is better, but I have to ask "what is a gimp?"

 

[GaryMGg]

The Gimp is free software that does pretty much all Photoshop does w/o denting your wallet. It's got a learning curve, but not too bad, imho.
All my shots are Gimped simply to crop and reduce the file size from, say, 350k to 15k.

Upload and download lots quicker that way.

Geeze. Nice photo. I also have the gimp, but have been unable to load the help topic section into linux Susa. Tried the other night and...........waited for.....all night for it to download from a linux support site and would'nt you know it, it would'nt load into my operating system. Gave me a Don't recognize the file type message![] I'm going for round 2 soon. I need to get it running so I can get the photos up on my web site launch. What opeateing system are you using?

 

[stevers]

Lower, little bit darker, slightly better detail. Bairly noticable.

 

[bob393]

Lower one, looks good.

Thanks for the tip. I wish it was called something else because I too thought immediately of Pulp Fiction!
