Pot Luck Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Are those effects you've applied to photographs? They'd look nice on decorative plates. Underrated is Gimp. We teach the kids how to use it at school, they find the name most amusing. But me being (in their eyes) old and past it, obviously has no idea what they could possibly mean .

Arnold Layne Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Yup, I'm just using the one RAW image taken on my DSLR. It was a rather poor photo as photo's go, I simply dumped a vase of roses on my black disc, and took a top-shot, camera firmly held on tripod. No flash, just a slow shutter (<100) to give an image without that glare that flash gives. Now I'm just producing loads of images taken from the one original. This is what I love about digital stuff, the endless possibilities of manipulation! I may get a whole exhibition out of this one original and rather crappy shot The Gimp is extraordinary! I've used Pro Photoshop loads, and find that with a few minor differneces of dress, Gimp has all the same tools, does all the same tasks and produces the same visual effects. And it handles RAW so much better than I found PS to do. And I just cannot get my head round the fact that Gimp is free! FFS! Why would anyone want to pay for PS with all this available for nowt? Enough to give this owd Yorkshireman a heart attack, sithee Mind you, I'm just amazed at Linux full stop. Everything, for nothing! Any other system costs a bomb! Any other system is insane!

Blayz'd Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Awesome that. Nice effect going on there. Usually roses are soft and curvy. Those look sharp edged. I like it. At first I thought it was embroidered into leather Nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
