Pic Monkey..Ribbet etc..

Have to admit..I love Photoshop..
But when it comes to really bad photos..PicMonkey etc..help enormously..This photo was overexposed..awful..the subjects were adorable..but the photo was terrible..A few twists on Pic Monkey..
And it's cute to me..

Try!You can add text..special effects..layers..overlays..make-up:)The list goes on and on~

By the wharf ...at Jack Layton Park..Lucas..now 7!  Maxime(Max) 5 and Olivier(Ollie..Wollie..Poodle..Pooch..)now 3.
If you keep the rez high enough they print up perfectly~
There's always a way of saving a bad photo:)

I used the Daguero  effect then played with their Hallloween  effects..
If you've not tried Pic Monkey..now with the Halloween fun things..is the time to experiment~
I've noticed that on many food blogs..they use the effects to professional standards..I am in the learning curve of these great free programs..
And grateful for them~
Enjoy..

PicMonkey
Ribbet is another fun one..

  9. Very cute kids!
    I'm a big fan of PicMonkey but just the bare bones...nothing too fancy. You really think foodie blogs are using it? Hmmmm..interesting

  10. I am certain some are using it..One European one I like for certain..:-)
    I am so lucky with my models..they were so cooperative that day:-) So many pictures..so little time..Actually we were gone about 1and a half hours..and it flew by the time..something about the stillness of fall beauty..the water..the paths..the company.
    Magical.J'aime.

  11. I need to find some better programs. Your editing is great but the little darlings probably couldn't take a bad photo either.

  12. I bought the software a few months ago and have yet to install it on my computer! So lame!
    I would have never guessed that this was a bad photo. It's so charming!

  14. I'm with you, love photoshop. I love buying early 19th c dishes with cracks and chips for a song. A little photoshop and the problem is solved. I don't know what I would do without it!

  15. D..most people use it for cracks in skin:) You made me smile..
    Really anyone who is not confidant with photo editing should try PM..you can always undo:)
    You can make invitations.. have them printed up..so personal..
    Birthday cards etc..
    Enjoy your day..the sun's come out again..the garden calls~

  17. I LOVE Pic Monkey! A friend told me about it after we were in Colorado to help slim her waistline and remove wrinkles in some photos.

    We just returned from visiting them in Georgia since last Thursday...I've eaten so much the past few days I'm going to need to use it to slim my waistline :-)

    Love what you did with that shot!
