New page added for the Image Editing Tutorial Videos using the brilliant “Tubepress” wordpress plugin.

A couple of teething problems need to be sorted out still, such as the stylesheet for the video description links and the permalinks for single page playlists.

Part 4 of Andy Roberts video blog series of tutorials about image editing was all about how to photograph a ghost.

So here’s the embedded video which show you how to superimpose part of one photograph on top of another, adjusting the transparency to suitable effect.

If you want to make use of the pictures used in the example then head over to the post on Andy Roberts blog entitled:

I have a big imac 24″ at my disposal normally, but for portability I decided to go with a Windows laptop, mainly for economic purposes. There’s a big computer fair near where I live every weekend selling mostly hardware at very competitive prices but very little Apple equipment passes through there.

Mostly all I need is a web browser so the platform doesn’t matter much. The first thing I’ve missed so far though is Skitch, the screenshot and annotation utiity for Mac. I tried downloading and installing Jing but that needs to have the .net framework which is another 50Mb download – too much for my mobile dongle.

Lesson 2 in the series about Image Editing explores a simple use of the Clone Tool

The video for lesson 1 in the image editing series is now up on the blog together with some hints as to what the remaining 4 lessons will be about.

Seashore is the open source photograph and image editor based on Gimp technology and tailored for Apple mac OS native cocoa environment but the video lesson is fairly basic and applicable to any image editing software that uses layers.

In this screencast tutorial I take a look inside the Wordpress 2.7 dashboard and show how text box widgets are lost when removed.
