GIMP: Chapter 6: Erasing and Touching Up

PART 1: READ Chapter 2 in the GIMP book, then:

1. Answer all questions below, briefly but completely.
2. Change the color of the answer to BLUE.
3. Copy this information and paste in a new post in your DIGITAL GRAPHICS blog.

1.     What is the purpose of the DODGE tool (part of the DODGE/BURN tool) : Main purpose is to make the darker areas appear lighter.

2.     What is the purpose of the BURN tool (part of the DODGE/BURN tool): To prevent white areas from becoming too bright, by making them darker.

3.     Why is the DODGE/BURN tool considered a drawing tool? Because it uses a brush, letting you make changes directly on the image verses in a dialog box.

4.     What is the purpose of the SMUDGE tool? It can allow you to smudge surroundings to hide objects in an image, or smear objects to create effects within image.

5.     Briefly explain you get the CLONE to work: By first holding CTRL  and clicking on surrounding color in which you want to replicate and then click again area you want to clone, leaving behind the color you have chosen.

6.     What is the purpose of the HEAL tool? It can add texture back to an area that has been erased.

7.     What is the purpose of the PERSPECTIVE CLONE tool? Like the Clone tool, it allows you to adjust an image that has scenes or objects that extend away or up from the bottom.

8.     Briefly explain the two purposes of the CONVOLVE tool: Allows  you to blur or sharpen certain areas of an image that are out of focus, including the background.

9.     What is the purpose of the GAUSSIAN BLUR filter? (NOTE: This is a FILTER, not a TOOL). Sort of like the Convolve tool, it is a filter that can the blur  part or all of a photo.

10.  Which tool would be the appropriate tool to get rid of wrinkles on someone’s face? The Clone tool is affective for removing wrinkles.
