Recap of Goals From Last Week Glamour Shot Businesses Methods They Use What I Have to Substitute Using

Gimp

Goals from previous week

Major Project- shifted gears, no longer doing a test prep project using java or programming, moved to Gimp Portfolio and expanding my experiences with Gimp.

Gimp- create Wiki Page outline/format. Completed bitmap version, need to complete the vector version.

Glamour Shot Businesses

Walk-in Stores & Online Stores Walk-in Stores they take your pictures

and can create different scenarios, backgrounds, and clothing.

Online Stores you have to send them your pictures which have to be in high quality and editing capabilities is limited.

Methods they use

Backgrounds- typically a clean solid color.

Makeup enhancements- better for touchup photos than normal photos.

Actual lighting effects- to help with skin tones.

Have multiple pictures to work with- typically take 20 pictures to get 1 final picture.

What I have to substitute using Gimp

Change hue/saturation settings. Add multiple layers to enhance color. Add motion blur to create wind

effect. Add artificial lighting to enhance

images. Add solid color layers to enhance

skin tones.

For upcoming weeks.

Find professionally taken before/after shots and see if I can do the same work.

Find portfolio worthy pictures such as weddings, family portraits, etc.

Work on Vector Image Gimp Project for 2110 students.
