Week 3 Photo Manipulation: Palm Tree, Color ME,

This week beginning on Tuesday Feb 9 through Fri Feb 13th we will be exploring a piece of software called GIMP. GIMP is the poor mans version of Photoshop. The only reason I call it the poor mans version is that it is FREE from the Internet. The software can be used on MAC, PC alike.

Project 1:  Palm Tree
In this project the student will  be modiying the photo below by changing the colors, adding waves and a sun.


Project 2: Color Me

You will be taking a photo of yourself and using a feature called THRESHOLD, which basically takes all the color out leaving only Black and White. You will then add color back into the photo.
