Editing software
Good morning editors.
I need to tap into the org collective for this, I have a logo for work that I want to edit. It's a Jpeg, text and basic line image with solid background colours. I need to re-jig the text and background colours to make it black/white so it's bold enough when it is printed on our labels. Where should I be looking for software? It's a one off so I really need to be looking at freeware, the last time I did anything like this was on Photoshop an age ago, these days the wife takes the photos on her phone and edits them there. Cheers Ste

Re: Editing software
Gimp is good but takes some while to get ones head around the complexities. Paint.net is astonishingly good and has a massive array of free plugins available.

Re: Editing software
Someone else got there first, but Gimp would be my first choice for a free image editor.
To convert to black and white use Colours->Saturation and reduce it to Zero. Then go to Colours->Brightness-Contrast and adjust until you find a contrast which prints well. The only gotcha is that 'Save' uses the Gimp storage format, so if you want a bitmap file you have to use File->Export instead. Regards, Keith. |
