Downloading Gimp Portable

From the discussion from the previous post re both of Jason's lectures (on freeware apps and operating new software) this information linked to the tute task of : Dowloading one of the freeware apps that Jason outlined.

The lecture content was relatable and helpful as firstly I was provided with the names and functions of numerous free dowloading applications, and the following lecture gave insight for approaching a new program.

I chose to dowload 'GIMP' portable, from portableapps.com. The software is described as 'image editing on the go' As a package for image editing, the site advises 'you can take your images with you and do your editing on the go'.

After I downloaded the program, I had a play around with the features using the original image below-I thought it was nice and sweet:)



Then playing around with a few shading/smudging/shadow tools, I came up with the terrible transformation below. I know it's far from a masterpiece so please try and contain your laughter-but it's the best I could come up with for my first time haha.
