GIMP - The Best Free Photoshop

Image
For those who remember about my post on Ubuntu, the best art of operating system crafted ... you should remember that I do mention about GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program . GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It has many capabilities. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an image format converter, etc. GIMP is expandable and extensible. It is designed to be augmented with plug-ins and extensions to do just about anything. The advanced scripting interface allows everything from the simplest task to the most complex image manipulation procedures to be easily scripted. GIMP is written and developed under X11 on UNIX platforms. But basically the same code also runs on MS Windows and Mac OS X. You can read more on Official GIMP We...

Sketch Of the Boredom

Image
I haven't had enough time to sit down and sketch. I did sketch to fill my rest time but none of them are good sketch for any purpose... I may call em sketches of boredom... I don't even know what am I sketching about. Just point the tip of the pen or pencil on the paper and let it go... anything from my mind will come out... Here's one of the result. Actually, there is more... some of them were sketched over a newspaper's white space... could be anywhere... But, not at the wall or any space that isn't mine... I'm not into grafitti yet...

What is Scalable Vector Graphics or SVG?

Image
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an open file format for vector graphics based on XML. Thanks to the work of a research group created in 1998 by the W3_Consortium: the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) . SVG enables Web developers and designers to create dynamically generated, high-quality graphics from real-time data with precise structural and visual control. This format based on other public standards (XML, CSS, HTML) which allows for the creation of vectorial images which are re-scaleable , perfect to save bandwidth, to optimise layout and to allow zooming without losing the quality of the image. Graphics created in SVG can be dynamic or interactive, can group, transform, create graphic objects within other objects and be given style attributes. With this powerful new technology, SVG developers can create a new generation of Web applications based on data-driven, interactive, and personalized graphics. The good things about using this open format is you can easily transfer and edit ...

Ubuntu - the best art of operating system crafted

Image
I've been busy with my daily routine, nearly to forget this blog. Thank god, I didn't forget this very blog. Well, as my blog readers know, I'm working in IT related, system development field and not officially into art and design field. However, my interest still goes deep into art and craft. Lately, I've been playing a lot with this Ubuntu, a linux based operating system. Believe it or not, linux have gone far beyond the art of operating system. I would love to nominate Linux as the best operating system ever crafted. Why? because it was crafted by developers around the world without aiming for "money" in the first place. They build it to for the sake of having a flexible operating system for themselves to use. And what's good about linux is, they are sharing it for free around the earth globe. As I've used to do my works in this OS, I'm starting to love it. If someone ask my recommendation whether to use Microsoft Vista or XP?, I'll surely ...
