2. Outline  Recap of Goals From Last Week  Glamour Shot Businesses  Methods They Use  What I Have to Substitute Using Gimp

3. Goals from previous week  Major Project- shifted gears, no longer doing a test prep project using java or programming, moved to Gimp Portfolio and expanding my experiences with Gimp.  Gimp- create Wiki Page outline/format. Completed bitmap version, need to complete the vector version.

4. Glamour Shot Businesses  Walk-in Stores & Online Stores  Walk-in Stores they take your pictures and can create different scenarios, backgrounds, and clothing.  Online Stores you have to send them your pictures which have to be in high quality and editing capabilities is limited.

5. Methods they use  Backgrounds- typically a clean solid color.  Makeup enhancements- better for touchup photos than normal photos.  Actual lighting effects- to help with skin tones.  Have multiple pictures to work with- typically take 20 pictures to get 1 final picture.

6. What I have to substitute using Gimp  Change hue/saturation settings.  Add multiple layers to enhance color.  Add motion blur to create wind effect.  Add artificial lighting to enhance images.  Add solid color layers to enhance skin tones.

7. For upcoming weeks.  Find professionally taken before/after shots and see if I can do the same work.  Find portfolio worthy pictures such as weddings, family portraits, etc.  Work on Vector Image Gimp Project for 2110 students.
