Online Photo Editing

If you have ever done a search for online photo editing, you know there are many to choose from. Most people will simply pick the first one at the top and hope they get lucky.

But there really are a few things you want to consider when it comes to photo editing. Number one would be easy to use. I don't think I would get any argument there. Digital camera's usually come with software for editing photos but it usually falls short on the easy to use department.

Well I found one online photo editing program that is really easy to use. And best of all it's free. You don't have to worry about loading down your hard drive with yet another software program.

Once you find this marvelous easy editing online there is another problem that comes to the surface. And that is how do you get your photo's into the program? That is another reason I think this one is the best.

Okay, okay...I hear you. The best online photo edit is Fotoflex. If you have visited my Nature And Flower Pictures, you will notice I use Image & Video Hosting at Photobucket. I have a pro account which is the best deal I found. But their basic account is free.

And best of all this photo bucket account includes easy access to Fotoflex. All you have to do is click the "Edit Image" tab and choose from the drop down menu. Your photo opens in Fotoflex.

Here are just a few of the reasons I recommend this particular online photo editing and online photo storage.

Basic Editing includes:

  • Auto fix - with the click of a button
  • Red eye fix
  • Crop selections by simple selection
  • resize - no need to worry about distortion

  • flip - either left to right or up and down
  • adjust - Hue, saturation and lightness
  • Contrast - adjust brightness and contrast with slide bar


blurred edges on roseClick on the thumbnails of these pictures to see the larger image. Are you feeling artistic? Have a little fun with the effects tab. A simple click of a button and you can give your photo a blurred edge.

And that is just one of many special effects you can add to any photo. Turn color photos into black and white, sepia, neon and many others too numerous to mention here.

animation effetHow about adding a little animation to your photo. It takes minutes and the results are simply fun. Choose the animation you like.

Does this all sound too complicated for you? Well help is a click away. And you will even see suggestions to make your work look better. You can even add effects to the animation by simply selecting it then choosing the effect.

And notice that little swirl of the rose? That is under the distortion tab.

But I'm telling you this online photo editing software is the easiest solution when you want to edit those photos without feeling like you need a college degree to understand. First sign up for your free Image & Video Hosting at Photobucket account. Upload your photos and edit to your heart's content. Be sure and save your finished work as a copy. That way you don't lose your original. Downloading back to your computer or sharing with friends is easy too. You can share right from your Photobucket account with facebook, blogger, myspace and more.

Have fun editing,

Sally
