Free image correction and retouching, my contribution to BLF

I was just reading up on Gifs, seems straightforward enough. As far as editing goes, I am used to it.

I think tutorial is a great idea.

Might take you up on this at some point. Thanks

This is very kind of you. i don’t have any photos that need work (but i know i will eat those words in a few months)

Happy to do it! Just send them my way. :slight_smile:

This is a very generous offer Kodachrome40. Are you able to touch up my present day pictures of my wife to make her pretty again? :Sp

Lol, half the reason I show up here is the great sense of humor of BLF members.

I am happy to work on whatever type of image ignites your interest. :slight_smile:

Ooooh, I’m Tellin!!

Are you offering to do just forum photos, or are you offering for people that have personal photos too? Like old family album photos that need to be done. Do you convert film to Digital? I ask, only because I wasn't sure from the OP.

I should clarify my OP. For now I was thinking I would work on digital photos. Since I could download and upload digitally.
I can convert film to digital but that would require shipping and I am not organized for that yet.

I am happy to work on whatever type of image, forum or otherwise.

Bump for the generous offer. :slight_smile:

LOL :D!!!

Thanks for bumping, Ryansoh3 :D!

Very generous and probably time consuming offer, did anyone try it, Kodachrome40?

I’ve had the pleasure of dispensing some advice about imaging over PMs. No one so far has needed my imaging services. (Maybe my fees are too high :wink: )

At times it can be time consuming, I’ve managed to learn a few shortcuts to speed things up.

That’s the idea, reignite the interest.

Reignite my interest ? Hmm. Better think of something else to touch up then.

I’m positive many of us could benefit from your offer and be happy to take you up on it. Any chance you could post an example of what this does? I’d be happy to offer up any of my images for you to use for this or maybe you could pm a member whose image you’d like to use instead. I know my images could be better but would like to see what you would do.

Thats untouchable(your previous request), MRsDNF, eh :D?

Most of images I work on I am under NDA, so I can’t use them as an example. If anyone has a few images that need some help I could work on them and post them as an example.

What’s NDA? Just suggesting you link to a post number or image that you could improve, then I or another member can send you the file. That, or you post a before and after to show what you can do. I’d rather not swamp you with crap images not worth your time or effort. It’s a great offer and I’d like to see just what you mean by “improve”.

Non Disclosure Agreement

ImageMagick:
convert -delay 100 -loop 0 *.jpg animation.gif

(will make a looping animation of all jpeg files, with one second between frames)

Also pretty easy in gimp. Add each image as a new layer, set delays by editing the layer names, then save as gif. This allows a lot more manual tweaking of individual frame content and timing.

Regardless of the method, it will still reduce the color to 8 bits. It’s too bad we don’t have a widely-adopted 24-bit animated image format.
