Picnik's Great Photo Editing!

This program that I have chosen is basically based on pure photo editing. This program allows you to use tips to fully take over your picture and give it a makeover in every way you can with a different variety of tools . It includes features such as darkning, adding effects, changing the color, and even adding shapes to the picture to make it look nice. I especially like the "sharpen" tool where you are able to make the picture look very clear and sharp and it will allow you to see every detail that is in the picture as soon as you apply it to the photo. Another tool to use is also the exposure and contrast which slightly decides the picture's brightness. I really liked this program because it allows you to edit your photos like never before, you can literally change the color, shape, size, and add shapes which really makes the photos fun and interesting to watch. I specificley chose this tech because i'm really into the photo editing process, so this program attached to me instintly. This is the url for picnik, http://www.picnik.com/

Just like crayons, but less tasty

My tech tip is about a website called colourlovers.com. It's used for color palettes, patterns, and just cool colors in general. The website is mostly used by graphic designers, interior designers, and artists, since it helps with their color scheming and makes color theory easier.


Colourlovers allows you to make your own patterns, palettes, and colors, and upload them (you have to register). It's really easy to use the pattern, palette, and color makers! You use pre-made patterns,and just change the colors. You can also make your very own pattern but it's kinda hard. Obviously, you can browse through other users' uploads, and you can save the palettes, patterns, and colors.

The majority of the uploads on Colourlovers is under Creative Commons, meaning that you can use and change the uploads, but you can't sell the finished product or claim that you made the pattern, and you should link back to the original creator. The only things that need the creator's permission to use, are the patterns, as some of them are not made by users.

I chose this website because I've always loved colors and this website helps me work with the colors in my art. I've learned how to contrast colors and which colors go well with what.

If you're interested in checking it out, the website is Colourlovers.
