Thanks.
The only program I used was Photoshop 4.0.
1- The original image had the background removed (my feet and one leg of
the tripod the camera was on) and a new layer was created for the
background and filled with black. This was then saved as a Photoshop
file.
2- The image was then reduced in size to 33 percent and the brightness
and contrast increased slightly.
3- The image was then exported as a GIF.
The equipment used was an Olympus C-400 CAMEDIA which I bought second
hand 2 weeks ago, a tripod, a table, some white paper and the Sun.
This was a first attempt (It was all done yesterday afternoon. Not my
ideal Saturday, but I'm out of money till I get paid on Friday, the
camera being largely responsible for that.) and seems to be a case of
first time lucky!
