Picture Editing

January 24, 2022

My wife asked me to edit a photo of her parents. I opened the file in GIMP 2.10.28 and realized that I know almost nothing about editing photos. I have a ten-year-old book, GIMP 2.6 for Photographers by Klaus Goelker that might be a good place to start.

  1. I’ve had good luck using GIMP to edit photos; I recently created some “reactions” for my Discord server with some basic editing. What do you want to do?

    • The photo is a picture of a picture in a frame. I would like to take out the background outside the frame and the frame itself. The remaining original photo could use some cleaning up.

      • Check out the “fuzzy select” tool in the GIMP, really useful for selecting contiguous regions based on color palettes.
