Uploading photos directly from your digital camera directly into your blog posts or sending them in emails isn’t a good idea! This is because the photo size our digital cameras produce are:
- Very large. For example, 8.0 mega pixel camera takes photos that are about 3264 x 2448 and 2.4 MB in size
- Designed for printing good quality photos not for uploading directly to the web or being sent by email
During this interactive session Jo Hart and Phil Hart explained how to use image editing software to resize and adjust the features of photos. During the session they covered:
- Intro to some very basic image editing strategies for educators and their students
- Some of the reasons why we (and students) need to be able to carry out basic editing
- How to use PhotoFiltre, a free basic image editor, and benefits of using it
- How to re-size, crop, adjust and filter images – some before and after examples of image edits. Participants in this session had an opportunity to try some edits using PhotoFiltre through application share
- Intro to some of the features GIMP, a more complex free image editor, and benefits of using this application
- Using GIMP to add text, adjust colour curves, transpose colours, rotate images, layers – before and after examples.
