Como editar las fotos de tus productos para que parezcan de revista!
A que siempre te preguntaste como hacen las revistas para que sus imagenes parezcan limpias y sin objetos molestos que te distraigan del producto? Bueno, hoy les cuento como hacer algo simple con un programa gratuito y seguro (GIMP) paso por paso...
No es cuestion de que toooodas tus imagenes sean editadas... a veces es lindo ver otros colorcitos, pero para algunos objetos viene bien, sobre todo cuando no tenemos mucha luz y tenemos que sacarlas en interior... aca vamos!
FR:
Je paris que vous vous avez demandés comment ça c'est fait que les magazines font pour présenter des produits tous "cleans" et sans d'autres objets de distraction? Bon, ben aujourd'hui je vous montre une petite solution avec un software gratos et sécurisé (GIMP) pas à pas...
Ne pas question non plus de tout faire avec cela, car quelques images sont plus jolis avec un fond... mais, parfois c'est bien de compter sur quelque chose que puisse nous éviter de chercher le moment idéal ou la lumière que ne vient pas pour avoir de bons résultats... alors voilà!

4°Abrir un nuevo documento y pegar/ Ouvrir un nouveau doc et coller/ Open a new document and paste.

Estoy feliz de saber que este verano los colores vienen con todo, y se me dio por hacer un collar en crochet irlandés (soy principante!!) y luego lo endureci para que no parezca cualquier cosa...

Bonjour à tous! ça va la vie? même s'il fait pas super beau aujourd'hui mais nous ne pouvons pas nous plaindre...

Color splash+good taste=perfectly possible
EN:
I don't know why some people think that using color is equal to bad taste or not classy... here a great example of what you can make with color when you choose the right combination... and you can make something similar with less budget, but that is another story...

Blogging for charity-The Green Chain
I found this campaign very interesting and useful to help some ONG's which are trying to help out our environement, so why not to answer to the following 8 questions? PriceMinister will donate £10 to my chosen charity.
Hope you react as I did to make this work and make a group of people happy!
To participate just go to The Green Chain page and copy paste this series of questions on your blog... piece of cake!
-Turning the heating down by just one degree in your house saves 240kg
of CO2 a year. It would take eight trees to soak up this amount of CO2!
Are you currently doing anything to make your home eco-friendly?
Actually I don't put the heating on to more of 18°, I don't have a car (and I don't like them...) so I take public transport or I cycle, better for the environement and my legs!
- Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface, now they only
cover 2%. How are you reducing your use of paper?
In my office we don't have any area to recycle, so I have suggested to re-use the paper we print to use both sides (most of the paper we print are not that important...), anyway I would like to have an exclusive area where all the company could recycle, also for batteries and IT material which is not recycled or selected to trhough away in a proper way...
- At PriceMinister we believe that trading second hand items online is a
great way to extend the life span of products. Have you ever thought of
buying or selling second hand items on or off line?
I think I'm a precursor on the subject ;) I buy a lot of second hand items on-line, especially vintage stuff that are rubbish for the actual owners and a treasure for me! This helps everybody to appreciate better what we have and what we get (unique objects for other eras are charming, less expensive and we don't force industries to continue producing stuff we don't really need!!)
- One of the biggest environmental challenges we face is Freshwater
Shortages. Are you taking measures to reduce your water consumption?
Well I could do better... I remember when I was a child and my parents took us (my brother and me) to the nature... we never stopped by a supermarket and bought water!!! We carried it from home in a thermos to keep it fresh and we renewed it all the time in natural sources... so we didn't have to deal with plastic bottles ... I remember very well how this changed so easily and made us lazier....and less ecological...
- How do you choose the produce that goes into your shopping basket?
(any favorite products?)
Lately I have choosen to cook more and more so I don't use anything beside basic products like eggs, veggies, flour, sugar, milk... so my basket seems closer to a 70 years old womand than a 30 (ies) year old working woman... but even if I pass more time making dinner I enjoy it a lot more...
- What is your favourite green space near home? (a photo would be great!)
I like almost all green spaces in Paris... but one I enjoy a lot (especially in the morning weekend's) is Le parc de la Villette. Full of families in the morning and young people in the afternoon (you can also enjoy free concerts once in a while!)
- Which charity would you like to support and why?
Young Peoples Trust for the Environment (I trust little ones can appreciate and maybe fix the chaos we have right now...)
