#90 Sharing Photos

I watched the video with some interest just to see how many sites there were for photos. I am most familiar with Flickr, as it is used by HCPL, but have truly never messed with it. Took the Flickr tour, and was amazed at how much it offered as far as creative ways to use your photos. Privacy would be one of my major concerns, also being able to post photos for others to see, after doing fancy things with the editing features. Also, it is always fascinating to see others handiwork, and the pictures they share that are important to them.

I may very well download Picasa to my computer, my pictures are scattered helter-skelter all over my hard drive, with no organization whatsoever. The software might be a good way to learn to share the photos that I do have with others, and also use them in creative ways.

# 89 Basic Photo Editing

This is a picture of my Zinnias that my sister took last summer. Using Picnik, I cropped, sharpened and resized the picture, as well as putting a fancy border around it. It was exceedingly easy to use, and I was pleased with the results. And I didn't have to register for it. I may very well use it in the future. My pictures are stuck on my computer helter skelter, and I seldom mess with them. But this was very simple. I did try Fotoflexer, and found it to be a bit more difficult to use, and never did get the picture saved. Although, my cat as an Andy Warhol painting was pretty cool.

Probably the functions that would be most important to me would be editing, red-eye, sharpening, cropping and resizing. The rest would be fun stuff. And anything anti-aging. :)
