Celebrity Sighting at 808!

We had a famous face here in the Computer Learning Center at 808 Memorial Drive today...none other than famous NBA point-guard Paulos Rondo!


Above: Paulos the NBA star in action!

A staff member's iPhone was used to take a picture of Paulos, and then a freeware image editing program called GIMP was used to fuse the pictures together. The whole process is a bit more involved than simply "fusing together," but GIMP is a great little program to mess around with.

It's basically a freeware version of Adobe Photoshop, and allows the user to edit photos in all kinds of ways, from removing red-eye and defects to erasing blemishes or even adding heads to bodies.

More about GIMP can be found here, and the program can be downloaded for free here.

Below: The two photos that were used to make Paulos into an NBA All-Star.
