It's here to stay and it's not only fun, it really does have a serious use. If you're already familiar with it, or if you'd like to be, this is a not a bad place to start asking and telling what you know, or would like to know.
Encouragement for newbies into this fast moving area will boost the chances and support for a dedicated place on A4A to show that talent and skill. Those of you asking for a contest for such photographs, well, here's a place to see who and what and how many we have.
Who's first off...?

i love doing selective colour and such, for example......

Its no wonder he dont like me doing stuff, I am crap and scary with it.
That is really cool what you can do with pics....is that what they call cropping? Uh, soz yeah just re read clone brush fing, healing jobber, plokipki, gerrupinit and autoclump......eeewww sounds complicated. I wont give up though, Ive always wanted a fing and plokipici, just not too sure about havin a jobber and autoclump is it painful?
Me gerrupinit.... gorrup and wennit

HeHee!

Na! This is cropping and zooming...a simple first step.
-
Ah I see, I would certainly like to learn more about all this....

You'll find quite a lot of things to do with your pic's using nothing more than what comes with windows. Practice with that before you go out buying expensive software.
-
I use the Gimp, which as you say is free, but I've never mastered it. I only use it for brightening up pics and sorting coin scans, but there's one thing I've never twigged. How do I clone a small bit of colour lifted off another part of the pic? I sometimes get irritating bits of dust on coin pics, and I really need to be able to get rid of them.

Expensive software is not an option......I just have not explored windows for enhancement of pics, guess what I will be doing tomorrow ;)

Not used 'Gimp', Robert. I'm told it's quite a goody for the money! But I'm sure there's others on here who will come back on your querie.

If anyone would like a challenge - Ive been unsuccesfully trying to turn the picture below into something I can give the wife for her Birthday.
http://www.dsf.co.uk/test/Lucy-in-snow.jpg (http://www.dsf.co.uk/test/Lucy-in-snow.jpg)
its a picture of one of her rescue dogs that was too old and unwell to rehome so we let her see out the rest of her time with us (anticipated 6 months but she dragged it out for nearly 3 years!) Possibly the most well behaved and likeable dog we have ever rescued.
If anyone could turn it into a realistic setch or painting I'd be eternally grateful all my attempts just look artificial and photoshopped. Only down side is the picture needs to be good enough to print at a reasonable picture frame size eg 8"+ high.
Failing that i'm going to have to find an artist who could draw from the photo but dont know if i can afford this

Glow777 not sure if you will like it but if you do I made so you can fold it in half and make a xmas card or trim as a photo :)
-
Here's a couple of 'paintings' Glow.

Want some more attempts?

I've sharpened this one up a bit.[attachment=1]
This is your original.

thanks all i like KK's B best any chance of a larger file ;)
it looks a lot better than my over computerized files.
Was it gimped or photo shopped?
-
the one I did was enlarged to 8 inch high
-
it looks great on screen dc2 but pixelates badly when printed at size, more than likely because of my small original image (either that or the forum software resizes) - i was hoping that the image could be enlarged for printing and then the conversion would hide the pixelation with interpolation.
this is a weird one for me - as for one of my jobs i design websites - i have a degree in computing but i cant get this one imagine to look how i want it too! Ontop of that I think ive just broke a toe playing badmington :-[
looking closer at your image it is good tho, what pckage/filter/settings did you use?
-
Not used 'Gimp', Robert. I'm told it's quite a goody for the money! But I'm sure there's others on here who will come back on your querie.

The magazine is free as is The Gimp.

Hi All,
I'm completely new to this, but having read this forum I downloaded Gimpshop for use on a PC running Windows XP. My problem is that I can't even find how to load an image. There doesn't seem to be anything in the menu. I tried opening a jpeg using Gimpshop and just got a message that libgimpui-2.0.0.dll was not found. Anybody else having trouble even starting?
Thanks
-
Sorry for the late reply.
I use The Gimp (not GimpShop), with that you go the usual way, [File], [Open], you then navigate to where the picture file is and click it.
