GIMP

 Hello, hello fellas! It sure has been a while, hasn't it?

Today I'm bringing you some new stuff that you may find interesting. As a lot of you may know, there is an endless amount of photo editing programs like Photoshop, Krita, A.Illustrator... you name it. However, a lot of people tend to miss one of the most useful ones out there, GIMP!

In this post I'll show you the basics of what you can do in this program, but don't forget to check the blog these following days to learn even more.

For this first project, in order to show you what you can do, we will grab an image from the internet (possibly one that is slightly tilted). And we will try to make some changes. Note that this doesn't imply the picture itself needs to be fixed or anything like that, we will only do this changes to see the functions of GIMP and nothing else.



In this case, I will be using this beautiful landscape taken by the photographer Oleksandr Ryzhkov!
(You can see his work here)

As you can see, the picture is slightly tilted since it is a valley. So, the first step we are going to do is rotate it with the rotation tool in our tool box, on the left side of our program (if you don't have it, you can make it appear by going into Tools, and clicking tool box or by using the shortcut Ctrl + B). With this tool, we will rotate the photo a little bit until the image looks straight. After that, you will probably get an image with some gaps where there is nothing, to fix that you have to crop the picture (using the tool in the tool box). 

To come back to this project whenever you want, you have to save it as a xcf document, which is the document that supports GIMP. And, once you have finished it, you can export it in almost any format you want, in this case jpg (both of this settings can be found in the File button).



And, there you have it! Neat program, isn't it? If you still have more questions about the program, then don't worry because I will be answering them this next few days.

Also, if you look closely, you'll see that some objects have disappeared in the background, which is something you can easily do with the tools they give you. So, why not give it a try and see what you can do?

 Hey, hey, hey security maniacs! I know the internet is a very touchy subject, and so is the security we have while we are online.

PC BUILD

Hello, hello! Under this post you will find a series of posts I made with a complete guide and explanation on how to build a PC. The budget for this PC would be around 900-1300€ (may vary depending on discounts, demand, shipment fees and alternative components). This guide will help you through the buying process of all the different PC parts, however, the building process may be hard to understand through text. To ensure a good installation, I'd wholeheartedly recommend TechSource's step by step guide, where he will guide you through the building process in great detail. For this build, most of our parts will come from a site called PC Components, however, a few of them will come from Amazon.  https://www.pccomponentes.com https://www.amazon.com If someone doesn't have the time, and/or doesn't want to look at the PC building guide without knowing the parts it has beforehand, you will find a message at the end of this post with a flip book I made showing all the data y

PASSWORD SECURITY

''I always use the same password for all my accounts and applications. I do not like to use complicated passwords because it is difficult to remember and too long. What do you think?....'' Bceuase of this, let's say, for example, you're in your home using your computer and all of a sudden a hacker gets a hold of your password for a certain website. Since it is only one website it should be okay right? WRONG. Most people use the same password for a wide number of websites. Therefore, in this post, I will be giving some tips in order to avoid this for those who don't like complicating your passwords. Or, for those who didn't know they were doing it and want to start preventing a future attack. 1-So, the first step to make our password more secure is, of course, to check the number of characters it has. For example, if we have a 6 letter password like ''Tomato'' then it would be advised to get a longer password of at least 8 characters or mo
