In todays show I cover the curves tool. With curves you can change the brightnes and contrast of an image in a lot of ways. Either finetune the shadows, midtones and highlights or do something very strange as in this picture.
This picture was made by Andra Sommer-Steinort for a workshop we both attend at the moment.
Meet the GIMP! is now listed in iTunes and Podcast Alley. If you like the show please let the people there know.
