Another GIMP edit

I'm having fun with this program, but there are a few things I would like to do and can't seem to figure out how to do them. Like clean up the background of a picture, have the background of the picture B&W and the focal point, or part of the focal point, be in color, and use the tools the way I want to. Oh well, maybe with a little more practice I can figure those things out.

GIMP!

So I found this FREE photo editing software online that is comparable to Photoshop called GIMP. Anyway, I have always wanted Photoshop, but didn't want to pay out the wazoo, so I'm way excited about it! I tinkered around a bit with a picture of Tyler sledding and this is what I put together! It will definitely take some time to get used to and to be familiar with it, but what a fun toy!!!

What was new is now old!

I found this cool website that changes your pictures to look old! Pretty neat, huh!?
