Reflection VI

Last week of September
We worked with Gimp, which I loved. I have worked with GIMP previously to create flyers from photos I have taken. It's tedious for those who are unfamiliar with the program but, as with all things, practice makes excellence. Yes, I changed the saying! One feature that we used in GIMP which I'm not accustomed to use, at least not in GIMP, was the coloration and saturation to change a selection's color. This made it much easier to make this change than it would have to color in the area. The only thing I would've done differently would be the selection tool we used in class. We used the "lasso" aka "Free Select" to then change this area's color, however, the tool I think would have been best for this task would be the "Intelligent Scissors." This tool allows you to select an area using the threshold lines between one part of the image to the next automatically adjusting to the lines. For an image like this one where the lines were very ridged, it would have been ideal and the students would have saved a lot more time. Here's the image we edited (chosen by the professor) before and after using GIMP.
