This is a companion post to a new tutorial I just uploaded to Youtube!
You can download GIMP free of charge here. This is an open-source program much like Photoshop. I feel it has a learning curve but once you get the hang of it is a very solid program.
Places to find digitized manuscripts.
University of Chicago Gives this list.
Illuminated Manuscripts: Museums and Libraries With Digitized Manuscripts -Is another good list.
Other Resources
You can find the Knowne World Aspiring Scribes Forum on Facebook. This has been a wonderful community for learning more about Scrible work in the SCA.
