“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs" - Ansel Adams
The power of images to help tell stories and communicate information is largely undisputed. And not since Picnic went off grid before jumping over to google hangouts have I been so excited about a free online photo editor. Pixlr is a great resource for editing photos and online images. The site utilizes adobe flash and allows the user to touchup, resize, overlay, add filters and otherwise tweak your photo to use on your blog, resume, professional or personal project, news articles or website. The chief downside of Pixlr is the upload capabilities as you will need to save the image to your hard drive to tweak it using the software. However, the app options for Pixlr are great, there is a limited option free version and the full version is just 99 cents.
A 2012 Mashable article discusses Pixlr and notes that the software has about 20% of the functions you'd find in photoshop. For a relative photo novice like me, who wants a step up from Instagram filterns, but without photoshop knowledge, this is just right.
And now, I'll share with you my latest Pixlr "masterpiece" :P.
Oh my goodness-- what a cute pooch!! I am so glad you were able to find a web application that could work for YOU. This looks like something you could use recreationally and professionally--that is so nice!
