Now that we have the new laptop, I can't use either of my antique editing programs (PhotoImpact 5, Paint Shop Pro 5). I was researching it yesterday and decided I wanted to try something free before spending $89.99 on a new version of the old favorites. So I downloaded GIMP. It appears to be one of the most downloaded and user preferred free programs out there. But man oh man...it's not like anything I've used before.
I spent probably 30 minutes last nite and then another 45 this morning just trying to edit ONE picture. OY! Now it's nearly 8am and my kiddos will start waking soon and I've not made it to the Happy Room yet. :( Anyway...back to GIMP. I think once I get my Gimpy groove on it will be a suitable program for me. Since I don't design web graphics anymore I only need it for editing photos. It crops, it adjusts colors, it sharpens, and it saves. That about covers it all for me! LOL!
Here's my first successful GIMP edit. A big, fun, chunky ring that will go in the Etsy store later. (as soon as I can edit 3 or 4 more pictures of it!)
Later taters! :)

It looks really good to me! I'd love to see how it started though.
Hi,i've been following your work for some time now, i want to let you know, that your video tutorials have helped me TONS. Im barely starting on claying, have a very limited budget(from my parents) and everything i know now is from tutorials and reading online. Oh by the way, in my town there isnt anything artsy so i order everything online. So your work is great help to me, and i would like to make claywork as a business :D Im in the clouds huh. Well, nice letting you know that!
