Free Photoshop Web 2.0 Resources Reflection

I chose four different sites that I felt were fun to use and easy to understand.

1. A.Viary.com is great for special effects. There are different photo shop features that allows one to achieve a specific, artistic, goal very easily. For example, if I wanted to create a visual laboratory, there is a tutorial that will guide me, step-by-step. A.viary was very fun and easy to understand.
2. Picnik.com was similar to the photo shop that we used in class. There are different images that one can choose from and practice editing, cropping, and sharpening photo images. This is an excellent practice site for novices that want to advance into more difficult and challenging graphic designing.
3. Flautr.com: registration was needed however it was easy and fun to use. This site is a step-by-step guide that shows one how to add, edit, and fit images to frames. It's perfect for elementary school and at-home projects/activities. Frames included every special occasion from Halloween to Mother's and Father's Day.
4. Splashup.com is perfect for editing many photos at once.

To conclude, these photo sites isn't like the photo shop we used in class however, they provided great services for photo editing and photo enhancement. Of the four sites, my favorite was A.viary.com. I really enjoyed this site because it allows one to perform three-dimensional graphics to simple photos.
