Image Editing Course Week 3: Altering a Color Photo to Black and White or Sepia
Now, it’s time to finally start using your GIMP! This week, you will be learning how to change a standard color photo to both black and white and sepia tones.
Do you remember the photo you took during the first lesson of this course? This is where you will begin to use it. If you do not have a photo of your own, you may use the one provided below.
Week 3 Supplement – Landscape Photo for Practice
You might find it helpful at this point to create a folder on your computer in which to put your work from this course if you have not already done so.
A note before we get started: when action sequences are given, they will be separated by arrows to show the proper order in a succinct way. Take, for example, the following:
“Click on ‘Filters,’ then in the sub-menu, click on ‘Artistic,’ then click on ‘Cubism’” would be written as “Filters>Artistic>Cubism.”
Ready? Let’s get started!
Altering to Black and White
Open up your GIMP.
Now, open your photo by going to the menu bar and clicking File>Open>your photo’s location on your computer>your photo’s name. It will now appear on your GIMP screen.
