Picture Editing Websites

The website that I used for our e-book projects was lunapic.com It's a website where you can do some editing on images, like photoshop. However there are a couple of downsides that I should warn you about.

First of all the site can be difficult to work with at times. When I tried uploading new pictures after working on 3 or 4, the website did something weird to them and I ended up messing up a few.

Second it's limited in some features, especially photoshop basics. You might be able to find some if you look around enough, but primal features like painting and drawing are pretty primitive. Like Window's 'Paint' program primitive. XP

and Third the images might not work properly on websites, especially gifs. Sometimes pictures turn out drastically different to what you saw on the site, like a gif image that moves ten times slower than on lunapic. This ties in with the first warning in that the site is like working with an old, rundown scanner.

But don't let these daunt you from wanting to use the site. It's still a convenient place to jazz up your pictures, especially if you're like me and don't have iMacs or photoshop. And who knows, maybe you'll get something good out of this place.

Oh, another alternative [if some of you don't know] is photobucket.com. They keep changing the site so that you can do some pretty interesting editing to pictures, so I'd give it a whirl too. And if you want to know where I got my pics, I either googled them or got them off deviantart.com. [see one of my last posts on "Deviantart."]
