I know there has to be a few photographers on here so I decided to post some pics and get some critique. Now I am not a photographer but I am trying to learn to edit photos. I am using a program called Gimp to edit because it's free. I may invest in Lightroom4 later on. So critique away, I have a tough skin.

Pic straight out of camera. Looks washed out.

Same pic edited.

From the camera.

After edit. The bullets were washed out and I edited just them. Done a slight crop.

Edited pic. I used the healing tool on this one to clean up some spots.

Gimp is a really good program.

Here is a forum that specializes in the Gimp program:
Gimp forum

The person who runs it is really helpful.

My primary program is the Corel PhotoPaint (kind of like PhotoShop I think). I used Gimp for a couple of years before I bought this one.

I hate Gimp It is powerful, but its one of the most anti-intuitive programs out there. Google has some free Software(Picassa), and the editing on Photobucket(also free) isn't too bad either. although on-line photo editing has problems of its own.

Gimp is great software and I use it fairly frequently. But for simple edits like exposure, contrast, brightness, saturation, etc. those are built into the image preview app on the Mac so I just use that. But for any more detailed editing I use Gimp. The pics look good.

Cool. Nice.

I haven't tried Gimp yet. I use Picasa. Does anyone know how these two compare against each other? Oh, by the way, great job on your photo edits. Very nice.

Looks great to me

Thanks for the comments. Has anyone used Lightroom4, if so what do you think of it?
