Free Photo Editing

This is a picture of a painting I did this

last year. I am thinking that I want to turn

it into a print, but I need to do a few things

before I can do that.

I started working with a few photo editing

programs last year. But, there are a couple

that I use more than others.

The program I use most often is GIMP.

It works very much like Photoshop, (another program

I use regularly)

but I find it better for some applications.

It's a free download and you can

find a lot of 'how-tos' on You Tube,

to help you get a faster start.

Another of my favorite photo editing programs

is, Picnik.

They have a bunch of wonderful

fonts on this FREE site, that I use when creating

banners...I used their fonts

to create the banner for this blog. I think it

is really cool!

It allows you to size, color and place the

font where-ever you want it.

Then, you can 'copy' the exact wording, over

the top of what you've just placed, and tweek the color

a bit, to give it somewhat of an 'embossed' effect.

Check my banner to see this example.

Anyway, I just wanted to share a couple of the programs

I use to create new art...the best part is...the only

paid program I use is the Photoshop..and I can get the same--PLUS

with the free programs.
