Hello, I'm Francesco from Rome, Italy

I’m excited to join this forum and connect with fellow GIMP users!

I’ve been passionate about photography for over 40 years — starting with analog film, which I used to develop and print myself in black and white. Over the years, I transitioned to digital photography, but I still carry with me the same attention to detail and love for the craft.

These days, I rely heavily on GIMP for my post-processing workflow. I develop my RAW files using Canon’s Digital Photo Professional (DPP), and then fine-tune the resulting JPGs or TIFFs in GIMP for color grading, contrast, sharpness, and creative edits.

If you’re curious to see my work, feel free to check out my portfolio on Flickr

Looking forward to learning from you all and sharing techniques and experiences!

— Francesco
