I love Gimp – I think you might have all realized that by now. But there’s one thing Gimp can’t do all on its own. And that’s editing RAW files. The good news is, though, that there are other options. The first option is that your camera probably came with some [...]
When I posted the entry about editing the boots photo, I got a few comments about how I rotated the image.
One of the things that has always bothered me about rotating images in Gimp is that I have to manually crop the image after in order to get rid of all the transparent pieces that [...]
I recently discovered something really cool in the FX-Foundry plug-in pack for Gimp. Have you ever taken a photo that was exposed properly for the sky, but then everything in the foreground was really dark? Or you exposed properly for your subject but the sky was blown out? Like… say, this photo:

One thing that all photographers really strive for are sharp photos – crisp edges that take your breath way. Obviously things like tripods and fast shutter speeds help give you sharp photos, but sometimes we all need a little help getting a sharper photo after-the-fact.

I was curious about this plug-in because I’ve seen a lot of Photoshop users on flickr talk about using an Urban Acid [...]
If you remember from last week we left off with the Diffusion Filter. As a reminder, here’s the original image we’re working with:
Also, I took a suggestion from commenter Laura and I’m going to show both the original and the changed in side-by-side so you don’t have to scroll… now the way I did [...]
This week’s gimp plug-in is actually a suite of plug-ins called FX-Foundry. Their website, I felt, was lacking. No screenshots, examples, or how-tos, but it seemed to be a popular tool in the GIMP Users group on flickr, so I thought I’d give it a shot.
Anyway, you can download the suite by clicking [...]
I’m hoping to have another weekly thing going on here at iffles.com. After all, I did two weeks in a row of the Weekend Links, so that’s a good sign that I might be able to keep up with weekly things, right?
Well. Now I’m introducing Wednesday Plug-in Reviews! Did you know that [...]
