Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks

I am really excited that I finally learned how to color a portion of a black and white photo on the computer! I know in posts long ago I wrote about GIMP 2. This is the FREE software I downloaded from online that is very comparable Photoshop. I have done a couple of Google searches for a tutorial on coloring a part of a black and white photo but I hadn't found anything that I could understand completely or had the patience to pursue. Thankfully some dear person uploaded a video on YouTube of how to do this and I figured it out!

Here are the photos I have played with so far:

These pictures are from our wedding:


Here is The Prairie Kid at 14 months old...oh where has time gone?


And this is my VERY pregnant and going-to-pop-any-day-now friend Faith the Fabulous (and looking fabulous!) sporting her home-converted Cruel Girl maternity jeans. These photos are from a shoot we did a couple weeks ago so that she can market her conversion to Cruel Girl and make millions (or at the very least harass the company for not making a jean for pregnant cowgirls).






So, the color on this next one isn't great but trust me, it is a HUGE improvement from my first attempt.




Hang in there girl...he's due in just 6 days!
