| + | I believe images form a crucial part of our existence today. We live in a world of visual culture, a dynamic era that is image-centric. Photos and images are becoming a universal language that help in communicating complex messages irrespective of cultural and lingual barriers.<br>The ability to manipulate and edit images provides users the ability to become more creative with their images and improve image quality to better communicate their message, be it in a presentation or in an article the right photo can speak volumes. The pipeline tutorial provides an insight into the vast field of image processing that allows users to create their own filters for the filter-plugin mechanism. The project, being a great tool on one hand, also serves as a great learning experience.<br> |

| + | "Imaging is both an important part of the human sensory experience and the human narrative experience, so it is unequivocally an important part of the learning experience. But we can go beyond letting our young learners manipulate images: we can also make the manipulation itself be a touch point for introducing them to some powerful ideas. It is exactly when we are leveraging such opportunities that Sugar goes beyond the realm of a collection of apps to a collection of learning activities."<br> |

| + | "The impact on SugarLabs community would be have better tools to understand how the images are processed by the computer, and increase the possibilities of expression of kids." |

| + | Whenever I am stuck at a point in my project, I try to figure out the problem by myself or by searching for solutions on the internet. If I am unable to find a solution, I will ask other contributors in Sugar Labs and focus on other aspects of the project till a viable solution is found. |

| + | I intend to write a blog to elucidate my events and track the progress of my project every 1-2 weeks. The link to the blog will be made public so that the community can be aware of my progress. |
