PART 1 Introduction to GIMP http://www.gimp.org/, where to get it & what it looks like. PART 2 (2:31) Picture File Format In this video I show how to open files & size differences between TIF & JPG. TIFs are better for editing & archiving, but can be a bit large in size. JPG has problems because they use what is called "Lossy Compression" to reduce the size of the file & that can effect the quality of the image. Tools: * Open * Magnifing Glass * Shorcut keys "+" "-" to zoom in & out PART 3 (6:14) Scanning & Acquiring A Photo How to open a file, scanning, and screenshots (copy what is on you monitor). When scanning look for what is called a "Twain", that is scanner driver. Tools: * Rotating with the "Transform" option, good for 90 degrees or 180 etc. * Cropping with the "selection Tool". * Saving as JPG & TIF (for compatibility issues use "none" compression for the TIF images).
