| 599137 | 2007-10-08 19:15:00 | Which is easier for this task - The Gimp or Paint.net ? | Raewyn (946) | ||
| 599138 | 2007-10-08 19:17:00 | Hmm, late on the bandwagon... What about Paint.net (http://www.getpaint.net/) 2nd that. Paint .net is a small download (if you already have .net installed) and has a heap of features & plugins. |

| 599140 | 2007-10-08 19:45:00 | Thanks for that demo. So the pen tool is better than the path tool as mentioned in "pc world April 2007 page 90" ? | Raewyn (946) | ||
| 599141 | 2007-10-08 19:53:00 | The pen tool is the Industry Standard amongst photo retouchers although both do achieve the same end result of giving you a Clipping Path. The pen tool is just more accurate due to the use of the Toggles to adjust the curves between anchor points. Knowing how to use the Pen Tool will go towards getting you a day job clear cutting images for website catalogues and image databases (all that stuff in The Warehouse mailer is Clear Cut) It is also where a small flat device called a Wacom Tablet & Pen comes into its own. |

| 599143 | 2007-10-15 07:07:00 | I haven't used the Gimp to do this but in Photoshop you use the extract filter to do this and from what I've seen of the Gimp, most of the actions seem to mimic PS. | andy (473) | ||
