Don't Want the Photoshop Complex?



Image editing can be fun!

But what if:
You still prefer the AS IS basic photo (as I do) and just want some other kind of tweak?
What if you don't have the time or maybe the inclination to test run a complex editing program?
What if you would prefer access to a free program?

The above photo is an AS IS + text + frame using Online Image Editor.
It may require a little fiddling with the elements, but it's good for a weekend adventure.

The basic section has:
resize
crop
add text
rotate/flip
colour change
add border
vignette
photo border
round corner
cut shapes
animate

The wizard section has:
blinky tag
floaties
add glitter
add stars
overlay image
transparency
gif only
convert flags
LOL cats text

The program that is almost unbeatable for editing photos on the run must be PicMonkey 
(used to be Picnik before Google sent them out to pasture)

Their basic section is:
crop
rotate
exposure
colours
sharpen
re-size
+
range of special effects - texts + overlays + frames + textures
All areas are easy to follow + if there is any little hiccup, there is always a good monkey joke around!


But if you are seeking more advanced photo manipulations - and have school holiday time to play around - there is always GIMP!



To teach is to keep learning
