GIMP & EDITING ADVICE
So I am almost at 700 followers on IG with only about 30+ photos and 100+ followers. Doesn't sound like much, but with that low of photos and me following and I am only 13, it's pretty good. Um I want to be able to make better photoshopped photos. Ones like these:
I want to have fonts like: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
photoshop like this: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Internet & Web Design?
Hi. Can't reply to your reply re. good camera but I'd like to, so answering via question I haven't answered. If the system don't work you won't know what I'm on about because its not 'you'. Well, there's a lot about but lets have a go in the budget you mention. A few years back the 'must have' compact among enthusiasts/hobby photographers was the Canon G9. At least, the well-heeled ones, it was about (8 to 900 US Dollars by my guess, 500 UK pounds at any rate). Tough metal body, flash hot-shoe and lovely SLR style 'real' buttons and command dials. (Those computer-style menus look pretty, but while you're scrolling through them to adjust your settings....the bird's flown mate and you've missed the shot!) Lovely image quality and feel like every penny of the cost in your hands. Now I had a look at KEH Camera (www.keh.com) and straight away saw 5 or so top condition used ones all from 150 to 200 US Dollars. How do you feel about used? You get a beautifully engineered, lot of camera for your cash. Not the latest, but one of the greatest in many opinions. When they were new my sister (doesn't shoot for money but loves world travel and likes taking pics) bought one, immediately gave it to me and said 'Play with that, find out what it can do and show me how you do it...'. I honestly didn't want to give it back! There's all the usual 'point and shoot' prgrams/presets so you can get going straight away. And when/if you want to move on and 'take control' yourself of stuff like depth-of-field, shutter speeds and exposure compensation, set it to 'manual' and it's all there. It's SLR-like in this respect, all you can't do is put other lenses on...but you can't do that with any compact. For the real 'split-second' hair flick stuff you're chatting about, flash is your best friend. The shot's based on the rise-to-peak time of that burst, not the shutter speed and all electronic flash is super-fast. Try it! Some of the studio-flash makers show pics of their flashes almost completely freezing a bullet coming out of a rifle (tempting us to spend some cash on their latest flash-heads, naturally!). If you go looking for a brand new compact, well there's so many and they're all broadly speaking similar in a given price range I couldn't say which is 'best'. Visit some specialist shops and try demo models. Try making it focus on something quite close, then point at something distant and see how long the auto-focus takes to 'lock-on' and be ready to shoot. That 'near-to-infinity' swing is the longest it'll ever take to focus, because it's the whole 'travel' of the lens. The ones that do it quickest are the ones you want to be looking at for your planned use and style I reckon. Some will be quicker than others. Don't matter what 'potential quality' the lens has got, an out of focus shot's good for nothing. ps...big Sis still uses the G9 and takes some cracking shots. I'm a 20+year Nikon-only man, so I hardly want to admit I like a Canon...but the G9 is tasty and a proper steal used. See ya soon!
