You Oughta Be In Pictures #89: Basic Photo Editing

You Oughta Be In Pictures #89: Basic Photo Editing

From the choices available,  Picnik,  Photoshop, and Fotoflexer, I used a sample photo from Fotoflexer to edit. I first flipped the water lily, then used the flipped image with the original to create a two picture collage.  I then used the collage to make a poster.   Here it is:



The photo editing features important for my use are basic - cropping, red-eye fix, and resizing, although I do like some of the fun effects  I've used both  Picnik and Fotoflexer because they were easy and I did not need to register for them, but at this time I prefer Fotoflexer.  It was easier to play with the photos and had a few fun features the other did not.  Mostly, it will depend on your own needs and prefernces which you will choose.

iGoogle

"Resistance is Futile!"  So True...

I admit that I have become more involved with Google.  What started as a way to chat with my child has now evolved into an iGoogle account.  This is similar to My Yahoo!, but fancier.  I have my Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Reader, and a few other things in one spot.  I'm still testing out some Apps.

Now I just need to convert, um convince, the rest of the family.
