Online Photo Editing Programs

As technology increases and the internet continue to expand, it is increasingly common to use a simple photo effect for free digital artwork creation. Manipulating photos, creating website banners and developing new icons are just a few of the thousands of things people can create to add to their web pages or to use as internet ads. A photo manipulation program can digitally edit a user's existing media, but can also be costly. People can try free online image editors before purchasing expensive image editing programs.

How To Use an Online Editor

Step 1: Save your media or photos you want to edit in a place you will be able to access them easily. Either on your desktop or in a new folder created just for this purpose. The online photo editor allows you to open multiple images at the same time.

Step 2: Find the free image program you wish to use. There are several programs available. Within these editors you will see many of the same functions as standard photo editing programs, such as removing red eye, cropping and resizing. As well as special effects, like retro and vintage. You do not need to download the software; all editing can be done within your browser.

Step 3: Select the first image to edit from your folder. If you want to open several images the program will tell you which keys to hit for multiple selections. You can have as many images open as you like and easily switch from one to the other rather than just working on one before starting on another.

Step 4: The toolbar gives you different tools to use. Additional menus offer more choices to help you create the effects you want to add to your images. By creating a new layer, you are able to experiment with various effects. If you do not like the effects on the new layer, you can delete it without changing the original image. You can continue to experiment with new layers as many times as you wish.

Step 5: Once you are happy with the changes you click the done button and save your images with a new name. You can choose the file extension you would like to use to save your image.

Most websites with the free software include a video tutorial with a live demonstration to show you how the product works and how to create a simple, free, fun effect for your photo.
