Image Editing

A few months back (not too long after I lost access to the internet) I came up with an idea I could try doing when I am bored. It was to try to see if I could get people to let me modify their image since most common images on here are awfully flat. Other options may be common Photoshop editing like portrait retouching, custom watermark, and possibly even page formatting.

Mostly I just like working on the contrast curves\levels and saturation. I edit one of the modified pictures I took on this phone on gimp and greatly change the depth of it. (contrast is very powerful if you can edit more than one aspect of it.) Sadly the image increased by +10mp after editing it so I could not post it yet (I could but I do not like posting low resolution images).

When I have access to wireless internet I may try to do this idea for free (as long as it is simple. Trying to represent hdr is very time consuming so such projects our out of the question). If I was to do this, I would send the finish image back (not post it) and mention me would be nice.

When I can, I will post examples and put more detail on this journal.  (like I said I can not do much right now with my current internet access.)

Something About GIMP

GIMP have plug-ins that seem easy enough to code so I may look into making "filter" if I can understand the data structure of a jpeg file or photo. Down side is my ideas would not be easy to code. Lots of parameters to think about and math to calculate, but it would be worth it because Photography is becoming too easy. I would need to work harder to become better than the common crowd.

Other Random Thing

I wish I could take more interesting photos, but currently there nothing interesting around me that I am able to photograph(and share). I mean I do not even cook anything anymore except simple meals. Hopefully in a month that will all change.

*6-27-15 update* I may be willing to modify anything under 3 mp. Sadly I will compress it to 2-3 mp for uploading reasons. Message for more information.
