Fix-It Friday – Photo Editing
Posted by Amy | Filed under I Heart Faces, Photography
Today is my favorite day over on my other web site I ♥ Faces!!
Today, I’m a Fix-It Friday contributor. It’s beginner’s week, so I played around with Picnik a free online photo editing application. It’s SUPER easy to use and has a lot of really fun borders, fonts and scrapbook items. I could spend a lot of time playing there!
This is the before photo. Which was taken by one of my favorite photographers, Susan Keller. She’s awesome, so the before shot was still really good. Just needed a few adjustments.
This is my favorite edited version. Using the free online tool Picnik.
Head over to I ♥ Faces to see my other versions with directions on how to do this yourself. There are eight other AWESOME photographers who contributed their photos with directions. You can also participate yourself by adding your own version to our Mr. Linky. (if you head over there, please Stumble it – Thanks!)
Be sure to check my Free Download page. I’m going to be adding new things soon.
Have a great Friday!
-Amy

Amy, I was so inspired by your image that I immediately changed my own. I LOVE this, the verse, the crop, the color, everything. Thank you for sharing this. It’s perfect.

Amy, this is off the subject but was wondering if you have an idea or know where I might look for some ideas- For putting together A Glamorous Old world Hollywood dinner- I need ideas for centerpieces etc. for 12 -14 tables. Yikes.
I thought you may of done something in the past after seeing all the fabulous parties you have shared.
Thanks a bunch!

I LOVE Picnik to I use it all the time and I’m still trying to learn how to use it better (I’ve paid for the upgrade too)
In your directions on how you edited – what do you mean when you said “I added copy”
