GIF, JPEG and PNG assignment

Below we see the picture of the child again (whatta cutie...) saved in all formats including .jpg, .png and .gif.  There images don't vary drastically, but you can definatley tell a difference in saving the picture into different formats.  For example, the .jpg version uses a greater number of colors in the photo  allowing for more vivid and vibrant coloring within the photograph.  You will notice overall deeper and richer hues in the .jpg version of the photo compared to the .png and .gif formats.

This is an image of a ball that we had to convert from it's original formatting to other formats such as jpeg, .png and .gif.  I did this by doing file- export and typing in the format I wanted to export it to my desktop as.  You can also use the shortcut of (SHIFT + CONTROL+ E) to export as other file types.    It is a midterm exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc

This is an image of the cat named Samus.  I used GIMP to add a caption by using the textbox and highlighting the bottom portion white with adding text.  This is a second midterm assignment for my Immersive Education Course at Boston College.   It is a midterm exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College.

Midterm #1

For one of our assignments we had to use the photoshop tool, GIMP to remove red-eye from an image. In GIMP you zoomed in to the original image and used the paintbrush to color over the iris, or the red eye effect.  The original is directly below and the second image is the image with red eye removal.

Assignment 2-1 My GIMP Photo

Today we learned the fundamental 7 tools in Gimp which include: scaling, cropping, cutting (with transparency), flipping, rotating, reducing and saving.  You will see the before and after pictures after I used the pen, pencil and smudge tool on GIMP.  I pretty much went too "smudge- happy" and gave myself a new hair do....
