Gimp 3 Pano

This assignment was to take three images overlapping only about 10% to 20%. Then put them together and edit the three photos to look like one by editing the color tones and multiple other things.

During this assignment i learned many new editing options on gimp including the scale tool which i used to match the three photos and the curves tool which allowed me to blend the different shades of color to mend together and look natural. Another thing i learned was a photo is never truly done editing because there is always something to change or edit to increase the quality of the photo, but you need to stop when it is at its best quality.
