    ASK-content-sidebarPreparing Your Images for Web & Print

    Lecture and Hands-on Workshop Led by Anne

    Having trouble resizing your images for use on the web or in print? This lecture is geared to clarify the process and will include a slideshow highlighting key points of resizing images. It includes a hands-on component using your laptop or iPad. Basic resizing, color modes and compression will be clearly defined. If you are bringing a laptop, download and install the free software “GIMP”. This is both PC and MAC compatible, but not for the iPad. If you are bringing an iPad, you can use Pixlr, a free ONLINE program. Pixelmator is an alternative to GIMP that iPad users might want to investigate and use. Make sure you have a few images that you would like to work with loaded on your device.

    When: Friday, Nov. 20, 2015 * 1 – 2:30 pm

    Where: South Shore Art Center * 119 Ripley Road * Cohasset, MA 02025
