PS --- IF this seems like "too big a task" -- do as S-1 did ------
simply start with image # a-001 and go on -- or not -- from there.

WITH the JPEGS the fun began -- as S-1 started with "image 001" and tried
using the GIMP "tools" to rework the "damaged image" and
then create a new "master image" worthy of being
presented to the public in a "gallery setting".
You can now be the judge of how well
S-1 did -- or didn't -- do. And
you now have the means
to find out If you
can improve
on S-1's
work.
Here are twelve "tables" that show the "before" and "after" of S-1's efforts
AHLEC's GIMP Project
Student # 001
WIS vs. WIS II
side by side
Original scanned jpeg vs. S-1's "Gimped" png
Class A ----- 5" x 7" original acrylic paintings
| 001 thru 020 | 021 thru 040 | 041 thru 060 | 061 thru 080 | 081 thru 100 |
Class B ----- 8" x 10" original acrylic paintings
| 101 thru 121 | 121 thru 140 | 141 thru 160 | 161 thru 180 | 181 thru 200 |
Class C ----- Varied sized acrylic painting (image size adjusted to 8" x 10")
| 201 thru 215 | 216 thru 230 |
Points of interest?? At first glance one might not think any jpeg is "damaged" or "faulty" ----
However ----- GIMP allows up to 800 x magnification. NOW, see the "flaws"??
ALSO -- for those with LCD monitors -- examine the images from
different viewing positions -- NOT just "straight on".
SOME interesting "problems" show up !!
FINAL NOTES"
AHLEC's GIMP Project offers NO "guarantees" that a student will either like or benefit from participation.
This is merely an example of how a FREE "teaching-learning tool" can be brought into world-view
for use as each participant sees fit -- to possibly enhance his/her personal existence.
NO "fine-print legalese" is involved with this "teaching-learning" experience --
just the open and honest interaction by individuals of "good will"
helping each other be the best each can be in an
atmosphere of "synergistic creativity".
Enjoy your experience !!!
