GIMPShop
I have just recently discovered and downloaded the program GIMPShop. GIMP is a photoediting program similar to PhotoShop, but the menues and commands have different names. GIMPShop is a version of GIMP, made to look and feel like PhotoShop. Being a total newbie with no experience whatsoever regarding photoediting, I have started experimenting with GIMP, just learning what the various menues and options do.
This picture of my cat Tiger(R.I.P.) is my first real attempt to edit a picture, trying to get a good result. The editing was simple, I cut Tiger from the surroundings, focusing only on him. Then I added a brown frame, used the Old Photo-option and added the text. The text is the two first lines from Willam Blake’s poem The Tyger. After saving and viewing the picture, I wanted to edit the text so that it was further away from the right side border, and maybe put it in quotes and giving credit to William Blake. Unfortunately, I am not skilled enough yet to know how to edit it, so for now, this is my first GIMP-picture.
GIMPShop is fun! I am going to experiment further with it, and will probably open a section of My Art on this blog later, when I have some more pictures to post.
Tiger! Er han virkelig død? Trist
