Basic photo editing

Next Training Session

Date: Wednesday 15 March  2017
Time: 08:00pm – 10:00pm
Location: (Rangeview) Tolga, QLD
Cost: $90
Subject Basic photo editing

Description

In this hands-on guided training session we will use ‘Paint .NET’ image editing software to explore how to perform basic image manipulation.  As images often have different dimensions, changing the canvas size (‘cropping’) or scaling the image (‘resizing’) are essential skills.  When editing images for use on web sites you often need to ensure images have identical dimensions (width and height).  The Selection tool allows you to create basic cutouts if resizing or cropping alone are not enough.  Pasting a large image onto a smaller canvas can help to create cutouts to exact dimensions fast and allows for more flexible resizing and cropping.

This 2 hour training session will teach you the basics of image editing and should give you the confidence to master other aspects of photo editing.

Masonry left-to-right sort order workaround / (solution?)

Disclaimer

Many thanks to the people whose hard work as brought us WordPress, the Pinbin responsive theme and the Masonry javascript framework.

WordPress will normally display articles sorted by Publishing date.  The most recent articles will be displayed first.  Using the Pinbin responsive theme based on Masonry, the problem is that the articles appear ‘shuffled’.  The order of the articles appears to be random at first (which is not the case).

PosteRazor

PosteRazor cuts a large image into smaller pieces which can be printed on regular size paper (A2, A3, A4, custom, etc.).  The separate pieces can be assembled to a poster afterwards.

As input PosteRazor takes a raster image. The resulting poster is saved as a multipage PDF document. An easy to use user interface guides you through a number of  steps. PosteRazor is available as a Windows, an OSX and a Linux version. It is an open source, GNU licensed project which is hosted on SourceForge.net.
