Allotments 4 All

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...?

did you use the clone brush fing or a healing jobber?

(i know ALL the techincal terms me ;))

Na! I used the plokipici and the geruppinit and shook it wiv the autoclump.

 ;D ;D ;D
i dont think the gimp has those!

Swearing on site tch tch...... ::)!!


Strewth cobba.......I got frit at the first hurdle and cancelled it till tues till tova harf can sort it :'(

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?
