Use GIMP to create a calendar
Want to know how to create a quick Christmas present for your Aunt? And you know that she was always fond of your vacation pictures?
Then try the free Software zum Kalender erstellen from naturfotokalender.de. It is a free and easy to use plugin for the famous free gimp graphics program. It was originally created by Moritz Mekelburger for fotokalender selbst gestalten, that is how we germans call “calendar printing”.
This program happened to be a really powerful tool, and so it was improved by naturfotokalender.de in order to be able to create the whole year at once. You will find instructions on a page called Kalender erstellen mit eigenen Fotos.
The calender plugin lets you choose a directory with pictures for every month, then creates a gimp pic with all the months as layers. The next step is to indicate where you want your calender to be rendered and then you start the plugin again. You have to state the year for which the calender is created and off you go!
After the plugin is done you have 12 pictures each embedded with a calender for the corresponding month.
The site itself features a lot more, there is a fine collection of calenders with nature photography, so the site is worth a visit no matter if you want to create your own calender or not.
