Gimp Assignment Two: CAR MAKEOVER!

In our second Gimp editing assignment, we were worked on a photograph taken by Noelle Jacobs at the auto show a couple years ago. Although the original picture was quite lovely, it still had more potential. Using tools such as cropping/ straightening, the Clone tool, Dodging and Burning, and Levels in Gimp, we were able to take this picture from average to fantastic. We were given a demo image that we were to model with our editing. It's truly amazing how much editing can be done and the effects you can achieve. I was unfamiliar with any of the tools we used in this assignment, but my favorite was definitely the clone tool...that poor man in the background didn't know what he was in for! But eventually, we were able to use the clone tool for "good" and remove the lights going across the hood of the car, just one of the steps in developing our new and improved photograph.
