#89 YOU OUGHTA BE IN PICTURES: BASIC PHOTO EDITING





After trying Picnik, Photoshop and Fotoflexer, I found that I really didn't like Photoshop all that well. It was not nearly as user friendly or intuitive. For practical purposes, I prefer Picnik, and for more whimsical photos, Fotoflex. I really enjoyed dressing Beau's picture up with the flower frame. We lost her to cancer at the tender age of 4, and this is one of my favorite photos of her. I sharpened the image, further sharpened up her face and then blurred out the rest of her. I cropped this from a picture where I removed the view of a cluttered desk and computer screen.

The editing feaures that I would use for the most part are the practical ones...cropping, auto-fix and resizing though it is nice to know that there are so many more options out there than I knew about. I really, really like what I was able to do with this photo of Beau.
