Creating Midterm 2

B.7 GIMPshop Tutorial: 2) adding a caption to a image [MIDTERM #2]


Original, unedited sample picture

 Using the rectangle (region select) tool to create a caption area
Then filling it white in the Edit window -> "Fill FG Color" [4,5,6]

Text font/size selection (menu) in the palette [7,8,9]

Text color selection via gradient in the palette, right under the font/size [10]
New window allows for selecting preset colors, using the gradient or entering HEX values

Actually entering the text once font, size, color are chosen
Adjusting the text area using Arrow tool [11,12]
Window in the top left is the text entry window, along with justify options

This is the process of adding text to a picture using GIMPshop.

It is a midterm exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc
