Training: InDesign with AI – From Text to Image

There are many software on the market. When the time comes to retouch an image, this list gets thinner, but still considerable. This guide will give you an overview of GIMP, and why you should consider using it.

GIMP: What is it?

First of all, what is GIMP? It is photo editing software. The acronym stands for GNU Image Program. The first three letters because at the very beginning, GIMP was to be intended for the free access operating system called GNU/Linux.

However, today we can use GIMP on all systems such as Mac OS or Windows for example. So whatever your preferred system, you can edit your photos using this extremely comprehensive software. Besides, what are the benefits of using GIMP?

Also, be aware that Doussou Formation can assist you in getting started with this software. We offer a complete course to equip you with GIMP.

GIMP: The Benefits

To answer the question posed in the previous paragraph, there is more than one! First, GIMP is completely free. It is free software. Thus, there are not 12,000 advertisements between two pencil strokes. In this regard, GIMP is therefore an excellent alternative to other paid photo editing software like Photoshop.

You are probably wondering about the quality. Free sometimes rhymes with mediocre quality. However, it is quite the opposite with GIMP. Indeed, professionals can use it, because its tool library is gigantic.

For example, if you want to enlarge an image, change its clarity, saturation or contrast, you can do so. A multitude of filters are also at your disposal such as oil painting to give an air of impressionism to your last selfie. In addition to the 150 filters offered, GIMP offers around forty tools, ranging from a simple pencil to cloning and including a compass.

In addition, each tool offered comes with its set of adjustments and options offered. You will be able to modify the angles, the size of the brush or change the active colors thanks to the color chart. One of the most popular tools is certainly the clone tool. With this one, if you weren’t already, you will become a true photo editing professional. Whether it’s to erase impurities or to create original content, the clone tool is there for you. For example, you took a portrait of your friend, but she had a big red pimple on her chin that day. Do not panic! With the clone tool, you can select a piece of skin and clone it over the button. Obviously, you can be very original with this function and try various more funky things.

Obviously, the amount of tools available is colossal and we understand that we can be intimidated by the apprehension of such software. Our qualified trainers offer you training covering GIMP from A to Z. Doussou Formation will introduce you to this photo software by presenting the various basic tools available to you. Also, we will teach you how to use advanced tools so that you can master the retouching of your images with confidence.

Another incredible advantage of GIMP is compatibility with plug-ins. Since it is free software, you can add modifications to it. If you are not a programming pro, plug-ins are very easy to install and can add functionality to your software. We are thinking of the Resynthesizer which is ultra-complete. This plug-in allows you to modify the different textures of an image. For example, you took a honeymoon beach trip photo. You can erase a detail of the image to make it perfect. The Resynthesizer will fill the new empty space with a layer of what is behind it. You won’t see the work. So if you wanted to erase a plastic bag lying around on the beach, you can do that and the plug-in will fill the empty space with sand or water.

If we have convinced you to try GIMP, do not hesitate to contact Doussou Formation to learn photo editing with this free access software. Our pedagogical approach is based on a demonstrative method followed by practical exercises with a starting image and the modifications to be reproduced. You will therefore be able to leave our course having practiced all that you wanted to learn thanks to our tailor-made formula.

Almost anyone can write a newsletter, as long as they have a base with MailChimp or another such software. However, not everyone can write a good newsletter. That is to say, write a newsletter that will bring an excellent return on investment for very few unsubscribes.

At Doussou Formation, we offer two training courses related to this objective which will certainly help your sales: E-Mailing (Newsletter Training) and MailChimp.

MailChimp: What is it?

It is undoubtedly the best known platform for managing your newsletters. Very flexible, intuitive and with a neat interface, MailChimp is an essential ally. One of the major strengths of using this type of software rather than sending your newsletters through Outlook is that it offers several measurement tools. Indeed, you will be able to see if people have received your emails, opened them and how many of them have unsubscribed. After many measures, you will be able to adapt your strategies in order to better achieve your goals in terms of E-Mailing.

MailChimp training at Doussou Formation

At Doussou Formation, we offer several training courses, one of which is aimed exclusively at learning MailChimp. The handling of this tool is not witchy. Nevertheless, MailChimp offers so many possibilities that it remains essential to know them if you want to get out of the game and get the best return on investment.

Together, let’s see what MailChimp is and what its strengths are. Next, we’ll explore setting up your account, as well as your campaign settings. Finally, we will look at how you can personalize your newsletters with MailChimp to improve your conversion rate.

Our trainers have more than 20 years of experience in marketing and the newsletter remains an accessible tool, but the mechanics of which must be understood. Learn MailChimp this year with Doussou Formation and reach your goals.

E-Mailing training at Doussou Formation

If you want to learn the basics of the newsletter, this is the ideal training to do so. MailChimp is a powerful tool, but if you don’t know what a newsletter is or how to use it for your purposes, you better start with the basics.

Fortunately, Doussou Formation offers this course! A newsletter is intended for your mailing list to announce information to them. It goes without saying that by personalizing it, you will get a better return on investment. People have very little time and their attention span is short (think of a goldfish). So you want to stand out and have them read your messages. Here is precisely what you will see with us during the E-Mailing training.

Thus, we will present the content of a good newsletter, but also the container. That is to say the marketing strategy surrounding it. You will have the opportunity to put your knowledge into practice in a practical workshop where you will have to design a newsletter by meeting certain criteria. The legal question now arises in Canada when sending newsletters, you will also see it so as not to be surprised. Finally, which is possibly the most important, you will learn how to measure the performance of your latest newsletter and understand the data in order to improve it.

It was with the pandemic knocking on our doorstep that we truly tamed remote work. Obviously, mores change and this should remain present in our lives according to many experts even when the situation has resumed its normality. In doing so, the new reality has forced us to contend with remote work software. Also, in order to facilitate meetings with our teammates, Zoom has experienced a real boom.

Zoom: What is it?

Launched in 2012, Zoom is a free software allowing to call each other by videoconference. Thus, we see our interlocutors through their camera and we can talk to them with a microphone. This facilitates exchanges since several colleagues can attend the meeting at the same time. Precisely, 100 people can be connected at the same time during with a time restriction of 40min. This is for the free version. When more time is needed, there is always the possibility of taking out a subscription which allows more people to join the conference and it can be extended to more than one day.

Even though the app has been around for about 10 years, it was with the rise of virus-forced remote work that really created a craze for using this software. In fact, at the start of 2020, we had around 10 million Zoom users daily. Currently, people who use Zoom on a daily basis are closer to 400 million. At this stage, the independent company competes with other already established companies such as Skype, Microsoft or Google.

Zoom: What are the benefits?

First of all, it goes without saying that the freeness of the software is a solid argument. There is a way to create institutional or business accounts. There are also subscriptions. But all the services are accessible free of charge for those who do not use them almost permanently.

Also, Zoom is very stable and has a multitude of tools that people often haven’t heard of. Moreover, Doussou Formation can help you at this level by allowing you to tame the full range of options offered by Zoom.

In addition, Zoom offers options for people with certain disabilities. For example, people who are hard of hearing, blind or mute. Zoom has thought of these people and offers support allowing them to use the software to its full potential.

Being able to share a link accessible to any user (subscriber or not) it only takes one person with an institutional account to have long meetings. The connection is stable and the quality of video and sound are very good. Moreover, the subscription price is very reasonable for those who consider buying the product. At $200 per year, one can have continuous access to all the features of this software.

Zoom: How can Doussou Formation help you?

From the basics to the more advanced sections, we will accompany you so that you can use Zoom at full speed. You will learn how to create your account, join or create meetings, create subgroups or set up file transfer.

“Excellent training that taught me several things about the Zoom platform that I will be able to put into practice quickly. An overview that introduced me to features I didn’t even know existed. The trainer was very professional and attentive to the expectations of the group. »
