Color Me
This week the class will venture into the world of "GIMP".
GIMP an acronym for (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a free and open-source raster graphics editor used for image retouching and editing, free-form drawing, resizing, cropping, photo-montages, converting between different image formats, and more specialized tasks.
What GIMP looks like when it is open.
There are three screens you will see on your desktop. It looks a lot different than most Apps you might be familiar with. Don’t close out the screens.
