Rick discovered a Photoshop technique that creates a nice effect in images. He’s got a very colourful example on this page too! It sort of reminds me of my cartoonizing efforts with the GIMP.

This is part 1 in a series on marketing and selling your images. It’s intriquing that it might really be worth my while dusting off images I have on my PC at home and sending them to stock photo agencies!
Do I have 1,000 or 10,000 “marketable” images? I dunno. I certainly have well over 10,000 images but they’re not all up to scratch!

‘Sepoina graf-ix’ filter application examples for gimp 2.0 – nice looking effects along the lines of some of the effects I did manually previously.
Photoshop-ish Keyboard Shortcuts for The Gimp 2.0/2.1 – If you’re coming from Photoshop then this’ll be handy. TBH, I think efforts like this are half-way houses. It’s better in the long run to be immersed in the culture of workings of an adopted culture/process than bring forward old conventions. Makes it much easier to work with the new community.

LOMOgraphy is all hype and profit apparently. I’d never heard of it before a few weeks ago, and associated it with high-contrast, high-saturation photography. Interesting.

How to Shoot IR – good introduction to the subject, evening with a note about the Sony F707’s night-shot mode..

Oh wow, this photo of a wet and happy Springer Spaniel dog so reminds me of Spring!
For the cat lovers out there, here’s an interesting picture of a cat .. nice effect!

s c i z z o has loads of GIMP stuff on his site – tutorials, links, etc. Hmm, His Paths Basics article is enlightening!

Hehe.. I like today’s UserFriendly comic, but who wants to take sensible photos? bbboooorrrriiiiinnnnggggg! 🙂

I link to this tutorial not because of the method which uses Panotools that I could never get my head around, but because of the fearsome picture of the “Ten-Lined June Beetle”! *shudder*
Enblend – Panorama generating tool. One to try later.

This short guide is useful if you’re starting out in digital photography. I’ll have to try his sharpening suggestions as I usually use the following when sharpening images for this site: Radius 0.1, Amount 0.50, Threshold 4
