Gimp 004 USA

 

This project consists of a digital image editing exercise created with GIMP using a high-resolution photograph of the Statue of Liberty. The original image was edited to enhance visual quality and highlight specific details.

Both the original image and the final edited version are presented in JPG format for comparison. A short text was added using the same color as the selected detail in order to maintain visual harmony and coherence within the image. My name was included discreetly in one corner of the final picture to identify the work without distracting from the main subject.

Finally, a blog post was published including both images and a brief explanation of the editing process, describing the tools and adjustments used in GIMP. The link to this blog article was shared in the virtual class activity as part of the project submission.

In this project, I edited an image using the GIMP software. I selected an original photograph with good resolution showing a lake as the background, taken in daylight and in landscape orientation. The image includes a nice sky, which I enhanced to improve the overall appearance of the scene. Additionally, I added birds to the composition in order to give the photo more dynamism and visual interest. The background image and the added elements were carefully chosen and may come from the teacher  photos, images downloaded from the provided folder, ensuring a natural and well-integrated final result.

1.The image was edited to a resolution of approximately 2 megapixels.

2. Perspective correction was applied to several vertical elements in order to improve visual alignment and realism.

3. Unwanted elements were carefully removed to achieve a cleaner and more polished composition. 

4. The author’s name was discreetly incorporated into the photograph. 

5. The final image was cropped to a 15:10 aspect ratio, saved in XCF format for future editing, and exported as a JPG for final delivery.

Three flags

 

For this project, I created a digital illustration of the Swedish flag using Inkscape. I began by setting up a rectangular canvas with the traditional proportions of the flag. Next, I applied a deep blue background and added the characteristic yellow Nordic cross, ensuring that the vertical section of the cross is positioned slightly off-center toward the hoist side, as in the official design.

I used Inkscape’s vector tools to achieve clean lines and precise alignment, adjusting the shapes and colors to match the authentic appearance of the Swedish flag.

In this project, I created the flag of the European Union using Inkscape. I started by setting the document to the official 2:3 proportion and added a blue rectangle as the background. Then I designed a yellow five-pointed star and adjusted its size. Using this star as a base, I duplicated and arranged twelve stars in a circle with the help of guides and 30° rotations. Finally, I removed the guides, grouped all the elements, and saved the final design as both SVG and PNG.

To create the flag of England in Inkscape, I started by setting up a new document with a white background, which represents the base of the flag. Then I drew a rectangle that covered the entire canvas to ensure a uniform background.

Next, I created the red cross in the center, which is the main symbol of the flag of England (the Cross of Saint George). To do this, I used two rectangles: one vertical and one horizontal, both with the same red color and thickness. I adjusted their size and position so that they crossed exactly in the center of the canvas, keeping balanced proportions. Finally I set up the correct colors and I checked that all was correct.

Digital image problem 2

 Second problem:

Which resolution would the same picture need to have a 300 dpi picture?

Step 1: Convert millimeters to inches

We know that:

$$1 \text{ inch} = 25.4 \text{ mm}$$

Convert each dimension:

• Width:

  $$210 \div 25.4 = 8.267716535 \text{ inches}$$
  

• Height:

  $$297 \div 25.4 = 11.69291339 \text{ inches}$$
  

Step 2: Multiply each dimension in inches by the desired resolution (300 dpi)

• Width in pixels:

  $$8.267716535 \times 300 = 2480.31496 \text{ px}$$
  

• Height in pixels:

  $$\mathrm{-\; 11.69291339}\times 300=3507.874017\text{ pixels}$$

• Final required resolution: 
• 2480 × 3508 pixels
