A bonus section on the included DVD describes special techniques for web graphics.
The most important editing functions are presented in individual, easy-to-follow workshops. Topics include the new user interface and tools, the basics of image editing and simple adjustments, advanced techniques using layers and masks, developing RAW images, working with the improved text tool, and preparing high-quality black-and-white images. GIMP 2.8 for Photographers is a beginner's guide to the only open source image editing tool that provides a no-cost alternative to expensive programs such as Photoshop. The only open source tool in this market is the GIMP, which has developed into a powerful, multiplatform system running on Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows. Image editing tools, most notably Photoshop, are usually sophisticated and deep applications, and are fairly expensive. See Frank's answer for the fixed 90 degrees rotation.įor an arbitrary rotation, you don't need to enlarge the canvasīeforehand.Image editing is a crucial element in the photographic workflow. Is that possible somehow? I have to assume it is, but I sure couldn't find it. YUCKY! Is there some magic tool I haven't found yet that will rotate, move and crop all in one step? I just want to turn the entire image on it's side without any other fuss. So it scans completely, but now I have an image of it that's not "up is up"- I have "up is right" or "up is left." But now I have to do all this junkbutter: 1) Look at the canvas size, 2) make the width& height equal to the larger of the two, 3) use the Rotate tool to turn the image 90 degrees, then 4) do some magic to move the image to start at the upper-left, and 5) crop it back down to get rid of the blank space on the bottom. But when I scanned it, I had turn it sideways to get the whole thing visible to the scanner. Is there any way to just rotate a rectangular image? I have often scanned in something that's not square, it's often a brochure that's taller than it is wide. Rotates the entire image and canvas in one step.
