. . .is one that you love – it is that simple!

I LOVE this -

I found it  on Pinterest and immediately pinned it to my “So Me” Board -because it is SO ME – But I do love my overpriced camera and the pictures I take with it- and I love to ‘play’ with them!

I have and kind of know how to use Photoshop and LightRoom (yes both, please don’t judge me) but truth be told my favorite programs are the free ones on-line – they are fun, simple and easy to use!  A couple you have to actually use on the internet but there are a few that you download that you can use without an internet connection – so either way I can ‘mess’ with pictures whenever I have time or feel like it!

Two of my favorites are Ribbet and Pixlr!

Take this picture from straight out of my camera . . .

upload it into Ribbet. . .

play around with it, changing the tone, adding words, messing with the color, adding frames, undoing what you do like, applying what your do and . . .

end up with this!!!

Now to play with the same pic in Pixlr -

Pixlr has three different versions to choose from – I have played with all 3 and personally like Efficient myself for just having fun- so that is what I used for this picture!

So I loaded my original pic. . .

I played with the vibrance, added an effect, added another effect, cancelled that effect, applied a border, applied another border, added an effect over all that, added some words and . . .

end up with this!

Truly the key to using these programs is time and just generally playing with them – so go – - – go on now, get, click on the link and have some fun, waste enjoy a few hours of fun with your pictures!

Oh and if you have any others please please leave the name of them in the comments I am always looking for new ways to have fun with my pics!
