Media Monday

I like music. As a younger man I even tried to teach myself how to play the guitar. Then I sold the guitar at a flea market, because I never spent much time practicing. My other hobby, computers, took up more time. However I still like to listen to music and my wife can sing really well. Sometimes I get the urge to edit some music to make it fit in a video I am making or to record my children singing. There is a great program for doing that, Audacity.

Audacity can edit music or sounds and it is great for recording. My kids just love to hear themselves. With an additional download you can use it to create mp3s of your music.

Monday Media

Today for Monday media I want to share my favorite free image editor, GIMP.
This handy program does all the things you want it to. There is a learning curve to using it. I took a picture of my daughter that my wife wanted to make certain parts only black and white and certain parts retain the color. Here is the picture before.

Here is the picture after.

It took me a while to figure out how to make the whole pic black and white. After that is was easy. If you like to edit photos, and have some time to practice then this is the program for you.
