Business - Gimp again

I am starting to like this software.

Today I try to get quotes from China regarding my product. The sample is freaking expensive (USD 80), but I hope my bulk order will not be. If not it will kill my dreams of starting the business.

Back to the software, I learnt some more things today. One of the useful skill I can learn is to turn any photo into a cartoon. It will be super useful to my designs, and there will be endless things I can do if I can learn it well.

Anyway, about some things that I learnt:

  • When I use Free Select tool, I am unable to get rid of the dotted lines. And when that is on, I cannot do any other things like Brush or Pencil. Solution : Click on Rectangle Select tool and then click on the image.
  • When it comes to photo editing, GIMP arranges the top bar in order (below).When editing photos, go to Colors. Most basic feature to edit will be to use Brightness & Contrast. Another important feature is Threshold, though I have not use it yet. After Colors, go to Filters to add special effects.
Below is a video about what awesome thing GIMP can do, even though it is using Photoshop.
