Digital Photography- Editing

Photoshop and Picnik are two great sites for photo editing online. The sites offer a lot of free online features for basic photo editing, soften edges, enhance color, add text and some pretty neat artistic features too. You can subscribe to Picnik for an annual fee of $24.99. The free features are enough for me for now. They feature users daily and their pictures are pretty amazing. I can't seem to find out how they do all that, most of those features must be in the Picnik Premium membership. However, there is still a lot you can do. Go play around... http://www.picnik.com/ Oh! and here is a pic of Gracie...isn't she lovely?

Here I added text, brightened the sky, and added a little glow to Gracies cheeks.

I really prefer the Photoshop site a little better, because it is just more user friendly and seems to work better with my ancient "work only" laptop. http://www.photoshop.com/ It is quicker and gives you a preview of each editing technique as applied to your selected photo, even before you chose it. So you don't spend all day waiting on the pictures to upload or clicking on a random feature just to see what it will look like, it gives you a preview beforehand. You can't do a whole lot with the photoshop site, but you can play around with color and saturation.
