Enhance photos quickly with GIMP

Okay today I will show you how to enhance or make the photo look better with GIMP. Digital photos are good but can be made better with GIMP. I will take you step by step with the process. There are many other things that you can do but I will cover only basic stuff. So here we go.

Take a photo of your choice.

How To Add A Cool Tattoo To Your Photo in Photoshop

Ever thought about having a cool tattoo but not sure what it will look like?

We’re lucky to be Photoshop friendly, unlike <a class="zem_slink" title="Lil Wayne" rel="imdb" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1211443/">Lil Wayne (I’d put him in Top Ten Ugliest Tats Ever list).  And history has lots of examples of “unfortunate” tattoos. Like Johnny Depp’s “Winona Forever” tattoo. He had to change it to “Wino Forever” after their break-up. Or like the Game’s famous “star” tat on his face – he had a teardrop before, then changed to a star and now he has an “LA” I guess. Looks so weird.

using mypaint on Linux

Here is description of mypaint.

Mypaint is a fast and easy/simple painter app focused on the painter, so you can only focus on the art and not the program itself. Currently MyPaint does not have a layer system, also mypaint is using pygtk with C extensions.

One of the interesting feature is that the width of the brush increse&#8217;s with the speed of the stroke.

My personal experience with the application was that the appllication does not have too many functionalities but is really very easy to use. Just select the brush and use it after invoking it. Here are some examples of the kind of effects that you can see with mypaint.
