This morning I made the "gaffe" to visit sites scrapbook. They may say, for the scrapbook, even if you have millions of paper and Bebel, the basis is still in the picture. On these sites, the photos were altered with filters, or elements of color, etc.. It made me want to learn to play with it all, without anyway to spend on a fad that will last maybe not.
So I downloaded the free program Gimp. They say it is similar to Photoshop. My goal is not to do graphics, it's just editing photos. It does not take me a software of death!
Then I found a really great site that details step-by-step how to play with the software. The first thing I wanted to do was to put an item on a color photo that I converted to black and white.

For me practice, I chose a photo taken at Tulip Festival last spring. I still have to practice, but within 45 minutes, here's what I did (later, edit pictures took me about 5 minutes per photo, ultra fast):
Photo Basic :
2) An element in color (in short, it must duplicate our black and white. Then, we delete some and this is the color that was hidden underneath that appears!) 
3) All elements of the same color are evident (it took me a little more time ... the result is not great, but I think this is due to the choice of photo). 
Hours of fun! I go back!
