GIMP

kristarella.blog in 2008

31 December 2008 by kristarella

With the year coming to a close it seems an opportune time to reminisce. I don’t have lots of good memories of this year— having completed a thesis and having not enjoyed it much at all. However, looking back over the last year of posts I think it was a pretty good year for blogging […]

Grid masking: video tutorial

29 June 2008 by kristarella

Check it out! My first video tutorial. In this tutorial I create the following image while demonstrating rounded rectangles and tiled clones in Inkscape, as well as text, masks, pasting into masks, and some shortcuts in GIMP. It’s taken me a week to find the right way to compress this video to a reasonable size […]

As I mentioned on the weekend, I saw a photoshop tutorial for halftone text. I thought it was kind of cool… retro. So I decided to try it out in GIMP (v2.4). It’s really simple!

Top GIMP tutorial sites

24 March 2008 by kristarella

After some discussion at Creative Curio I was starting to think that building a site similar to PSDTuts for GIMP tutorials would be cool. I haven’t seen much in the way of GIMP tutorial sites that I really like; except for Meet the GIMP, but video tutorials are different in my mind. Before I go […]

Meet the GIMP demonstrates Ufraw

23 March 2008 by kristarella

I previously posted about Ufraw and its user guide, which I found to be quite unfriendly on the website. I created an easier-on-the-eyes pdf version. Unfortunately it didn’t help, I still didn’t understand at all how this tool was supposed to work. I found it rather discouraging. After shooting in RAW for one day in […]

Yesterday we had a family gathering to visit for t Yesterday we had a family gathering to visit for the first time where Gran's ashes are interred, next to Grandpa's. Afterwards we had a long lunch, at which Mark was a champ. I'm so grateful to have all these people who love me and love Mark. And super thankful to have such a social and easy going baby.

Mark and I had a great time at Brickbuilt yesterda Mark and I had a great time at Brickbuilt yesterday! 10 photos cannot cover it, so I might have to post again 😆Thanks everyone involved in organising, exhibiting, and for chatting to us about your builds!#brickbuiltsydney #brickbuiltsydney2022 #lego #afol @sydlug #legomastersau
Finally got a chance to pay these pretties some at Finally got a chance to pay these pretties some attention! Stabilised wood and resin pairings from @pensbycasey_ . The photo doesn't do them justice; the red burl is gorgeous and the blue and green colourshift resin is amazing. They don't have their perfect ink matches yet, but that's okay, I'll use up what is in them and try a different combo next time.#fountainpen #fountainpens #handmadeinaustralia
Rey and BB-8 on Tatooine.This is a reuse of this Rey and BB-8 on Tatooine.This is a reuse of this habitat, but I added another sun and a little more terrain. Fitting scene, as the sun has already set on my Star Wars day. I'd love to do a more gradual sunset, but I don't quite have the yellow and orange plates right now.#maythefourthbewithyou #maythe4thbewithyou #starwars #starwarsday #lego #legostarwars #afol #legomaydare @giothebrickjedi_andfam @nicole_s_brick_build_world

One of my memories (both actual memory and photo memory) is Grandpa dressing up as Santa. I don't know if he liked sci-fi, but I'd like to think he would have enjoyed dressing up with us on occasion 🤍#maythefourthbewithyou #maythe4thbewithyou #maytheforcebewithyou #starwars #starwarsday #yoda #babyyoda #marksymonds #crochet
