Use GIMP to create awesome looking collage in minutes

Here is an example to begin with: <a href="http://blog.amit-agarwal.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/300x200-dscn0161.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1228" title="300x200-dscn0161" src="http://blog.amit-agarwal.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/300x200-dscn0161.jpg" alt="300x200-dscn0161" width="267" height="200" /> I will make another collage as an example with screenshots to take you through the process. First decide on the size of the collage. I will take 8×12 inches as example. Now, decide on what kind of collage you want.

How To Add A Cool Tattoo To Your Photo in Photoshop

Ever thought about having a cool tattoo but not sure what it will look like? We’re lucky to be Photoshop friendly, unlike <a class="zem_slink" title="Lil Wayne" rel="imdb" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1211443/">Lil Wayne (I’d put him in Top Ten Ugliest Tats Ever list). And history has lots of examples of “unfortunate” tattoos.

Or like the Game’s famous “star” tat on his face – he had a teardrop before, then changed to a star and now he has an “LA” I guess. Continue reading
