As a final reminder of how completely awesome the Utah Open Source Conference is and why you should attend, we present a final video from UTOSC 2008: Glenda Rhodes presenting on GIMP for Photographers. This video is now available at OpenSourceTV.TV as a in-line Flash video and also as Ogg Theora and Xvid AVI downloads.

Glenda Rhodes

This presentation discusses using GIMP as an alternative to Photoshop for editing digital photos. Basic GIMP techniques (black/white, sepia, cropping) and some advanced techniques (layer masks for selective coloring, head-swapping, background blurring) are covered.

Glenda says, “I have been on the outskirts of the open source community ever since my husband made me send out the initial release of Ubuntu in our Christmas cards back in 2004. Currently I help run Utah OpenTech, a company dedicated to helping small businesses implement VoIP using open source technologies. I am a frequent user of GIMP (on windows and ubuntu), using it for editing photos and most recently digital scrapbooking.”
