Diy Engagement Party Table Esca

TIDSL103 - Text with shadows and highlights. Gimp


With Gimp you can create different logos.
The camimo in the new version of Gimp is as follows: File / New / Logos.


I have installed a version of the past few years, 2.4.6, and as there are no logos, I searched and found at: Exts / Logos.

I leave the screen shot I made about this, if someone is helpful.



worked with several of the options offered by the program. In some cases they changed the background or the color of the letters.











The poster that started this post I made in Inkscape. Cree

green rectangle, and then crawled back logos made in Gimp.

Some logos I made minor modifications to the tool to select and transform objects "(the arrow).

So much exercised.
Greetings and ... still learning.

How To Give A Dog Penicilin

TIDSL103 - Focus - Blur

The photo on which I worked is:



To select the pigeon used the quick mask. It is located on the canvas in the lower left corner, under the rule.

I followed the steps recommended Nina:
  • spike on the mask ... and everything turns red
  • verify that the color pickers (two color squares on the box) are in BLACK AND WHITE, ie maximum contrast.
  • choose a brush and brush edges look fuzzy
  • start painting with white
  • select
  • with black (which is actually red) left out of the selection
  • spike mask button Go testo how my selection

Then I went to edit / copy. Then I stuck in a second layer (which previously believed) the dove.

I went on the imported image and selected with the tool of "free choice" at the bottom of the photo. Which represents the floor that is ahead and around the dove and has a loose feather. The copied (right click: edit / copy) and pasted into a third layer.

layers were as follows:


Then I apply blur: Filter / Blur / Gaussian Blur to the layer containing the imported image (more blur) and the layer having the floor and Pen (less blur).

Thus I managed to stand out the dove in front.

Level E Sadlier Oxford Answers Review 4-6

destructive response to criticism about


I consider myself a tolerant person and open to criticism and suggestions. There is nothing I like more than feedback from people about the things I do and even more so on Oriole. But thing is I do not tolerate mediocrity.
I decided to create this post to put the answer I gave to @ MichelEnLaRed regarding some comments I made on Twitter about Oriole, instead of contributing to the development project to tarnish all the hard effort is being done. I do not pretend to add anything to the answer I gave on Twitter, here I will stick only to unify and allow for better reading. 's comment was the straw that broke the next (yes, there were 3 or 4 previous comments in the same tone I jumped out of consideration and tolerance):
My answer was:

had not wanted to answer your comments because I had nothing good to say, but if you insist I will take the trouble.

1 .- I do not know where you get information to form judgments about my inability to solve the hang of Oriole, you are not subscribed to the development list, do not connect to the IRC channel, even I am involved as a collaborator. For your information I am currently using the new API I designed to solve the problems of Oriole, but
is in experimental stage. In developing first software testing things before releasing to the public, is quality controls and testing the application q must pass before it can be "used" by the general public. But I do not know much about it and so throw that string of comments sterile demerit instead of helping the hard work I've been doing these last days for you to enjoy a good customer.

2 .- I am a person with a real job and real life, nothing I would rather be able to devote 100% of my time to Oriole, but unfortunately that does not give me to eat now, so few free moments I have left to date are those that invest in develop the Oriole. Consider this before you call "unable" to another person.
3 .- If you do not like the performance of Oriole or you think you do not schedule it fast enough and you use another client. There are hundreds of Twitter clients out there waiting for you, not really hang with developers and "capable." Oriole is a hobby for me and the idea is that the community can enjoy, benefit and feel comfortable with my hobby and as with that lift up the name of our country, there is much talent in this country and we must take advantage. You have no commitment to use Oriole, you are free to choose ... and the software, completely free. If you really want Oriole supporting reasons and then analyzes things before saying them, get involved and works, free software works well and is one of the basic principles of socialism, union, community, participation ...

The best way to change things is part of them, need not be a programmer to help Oriole, there are many things to do, you are welcome as long as your desires are to work and make things better but not if that is eager to fuck you, we'll leave that to the poor. You can start reading the archives of the mailing list http://smlk.es/6JfSkX, and if you like to join us and contribute your ideas as a rational, thoughtful and intelligent you are. Greetings and thanks

for the support
