Photo Editing Sites

I searched online for photo editing sites. I looked at five of them. Aviary, Splashup, and Pzap required me to install one thing or another to my computer so, I quickly passed on those sites. I experimented with Fotoflexer, Pixlr and Picnik. I was successful in uploading a photo to all these sites, however at Fotoflexer the photo kept cutting off the top of the photo during the upload. It was a cool site as I was able to experiment with some of the applications but since the photo didn’t upload correctly I moved on to the next site. Pixlr was a good site. My photo uploaded correctly and I was able to manipulate it with the different applications. It was a lot like the Photoshop program we used in class. The icons for the different applications were all symbols, which made it difficult to know the function of each icon. I eventually settled into Picnik where I was able to easily upload my photos and manipulate them with the different applications. The icons for the different applications were labeled with words making it very user friendly. For me, someone with no experience in the area of photo editing Picnik was the best. Once I become more advanced in photo editing or want to do more precise editing I will give Pixlr another try.
