Playing with Photoshop

By Ed Brazee on May 20, 2014

Playing with Photoshop Online Tools

Image of Photoshop Online ToolsPhotoshop has been on my mind for a lot of years, but I’ve never invested in the time or the money to learn this application.  However, after reading in “Learning a New Skill Works Best to Keep the Brain Sharp” that the best results came from learning complex skills like Photoshop, I decided it was time to explore this program.

As I began to research how to download Photoshop and how much it costs ($100+), I came across a FREE version called Photoshop Online Tools.  It certainly does not do everything the entire program does, but it has tools that will require practice before I will master them.

It’s over exposed because it was the height of day and light was reflecting off the white stones nearby.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It looks more vibrant when I use the tools to crop and adjust the exposure!

The effects tools are great fun to play with!  You can pixelate or distort or make the image look like a drawing.

I’m not ready for my first gallery show, but I sure am having fun manipulating my photographs!

Here’s a short video that demonstrates how this tool works!
