What: Using GIMP to get your digital image ready for publication
When: Thu., Sep. 24, 6:30pm
Where: Downtown library, large conference room


This lesson will concentrate on getting familiar with GIMP: its basic 
features and tools and their practical application.  We'll cover things 
like:

    *

      choosing the correct file type and resolution

    *

      cropping and resizing

    *

      improving color, brightness and contrast

    *

      rotating, perspective, shear

    *

      sharpen & blur

    *

      color correction, red-eye removal


The plan to offer a lesson on Scribus, the open source desktop 
publishing program, has not changed.  However probably half the work of 
producing a newsletter, flyer, program, or similar with images is 
preparing those images for publication.  So there are now 2 lessons - 
GIMP first, to prepare images, and Scribus second, to combine images and 
other content and make it pretty. 


If there is enough interest in the advanced features of GIMP, we could 
do a third session.  Topics could include: transparencies and the alpha 
channel, layers and layer modes, filters and effects, scripts and 
plugins or whatever is of interest.  Feedback appreciated.
