As this is the case now, whenever black and white images are created it is perceived as a kind of artistic aesthetic that the photographer has wanted to achieve and considering colour is the norm now, this photograph is viewed in a different light and more of an artists creation rather than the representative. So, I hope to get you more creative in experimenting with your photographs with these easy Black and White conversion processes! http://gimpology.com/submission/view/creating_tileable_marble_textures_with_the_gimphttp://gimpology.com/submission/view/creating_tileable_marble_textures_with_the_gimpA simple method to create marble textures with the GIMP. http://gimpology.com/submission/view/striped_background_designhttp://gimpology.com/submission/view/striped_background_designThis video tutorial shows how to easily create horizontal and vertical stripes without resorting to a premade pattern or other more complicated techniques.
