I am back with a short trip into the land of the non-square pixels. You can change the resolution and aspect ratio not only of the image but also of the individual pixels.
And then I have a reminder about animated GIFs – a “commercial” from SCALE 7x.
SCALE 7x, the premier Open Source Community conference in the southwestern United States, returns to the Westin LAX Hotel, site of the 6th Expo!
For 2009, the main weekend conference at SCALE 7x has been expanded. In addition to the three main tracks, a Beginner’s track and a Developer’s track have been added.
SCALE will be February 20th – 22nd, 2009.

In this episode I’ll finish the editing of the image that kept me busy in the last shows. There was a lot to do – darkening the ship with a selective layer mask, cloning out some driftwood and half a bird, correcting the aspect ratio to something the printer will be happy with and giving him a hint how to print the image with a gray and colour gradient.
Before I really send the image to the printer I’ll make the birds in the top left corner a bit darker – but you know how to do that.
Meet the GIMP! is now listed in iTunes and Podcast Alley. If you like the show please let the people there know.
