Week 8: Color and Light

Now that I have worked more with GIMP I am starting to enjoy it a little more.  My big aha moment was to remember that I had to undo something before I went on to something else.  The first time I don't know how many times I had to reload the picture because I had messed it up. I chose a couple of my favorite pics.  In the one below I took away some of the lightness and Hue, and added some contrast.  I lowered the color lever and the color curve.

The picture below I adjusted the lightness, contrast, and adjusted the color levels.  It made the rocks and flowers stand out a little bit more.  I was going to do more cool stuff with this one, but when I got done with this part of it I was happy with what I had.

  1. Jamie, you made changes that highlighted the subjects but still kept it natural looking, Great Job!!! The difference in before and after in the picture of your son is wonderful.
