Picture editing tutorial

Hello! I've came back for now to bring you a photo editing post. To start off, you need to download Gimp (don't worry, it's free!)

Here are some images I found on a website that I edited.
This is the image I saved:
These are some after I played around with it.

Now I can teach you to easily do lots of fun stuff with gimp.
1. Download an image. For this I've used this image (don't worry, it's public domain):

To change the colour of the whole thing like in my second picture, you click on the colour bar,  and select the 'Colourise' option. Then you mess around with the bars and that changes the colour!The first changes the colour, the second the strength of the colour and the third its lightness.....you'll understand better when you try it. :3


Make it look old and worn:  First select the filter bar and go down to decor.  This is the one you will be choosing from every time for this one. To start select 'old photo' and carry it out on default. Then you go on fuzzy border. After that you pick the coffee stain one and reduce the stains to 1. Click OK, and see the result of your masterpiece!

This one is really fun: all you do is select 'Filter' and go on Edge-Detect and select Neon. Then you can mess around with the settings and select OK! :)

That's all for now but don't be afraid to upload your creations in the comments or email me! :) You can also do a lot with the filter section, s mess around with it! See what you can do and show me. :3
