New Photo-editing sites






I used splashup to edit this landscape scene and make a few changes to the lighting. This sight is very similar to Photoshop and appears to be designed to mirror it as closely as possible. However, it is more difficult to use and doesn’t include nearly as many useful tools as Photoshop. Its target audience would be someone looking to utilize the tools of Photoshop without having to pay for the program. I don’t think a link should be included because it is basically a worse version of Photoshop that is harder to use.



I edited this image on aviary. It offers basic photo editing ability in a format that is very easy to use. You couldn’t do advanced picture editing on this sight like you could on Photoshop, but it does have some fun features such as stickers that can be pasted on top of an image. Its target audience would mostly be kids or people looking to just make some fun easy alterations to pictures. I think a link should be included because if you are looking for an easy way to make a few changes to a picture without all the hassle of advanced Photoshop tools, this is the sight to use.



I altered this screenshot of myself on Taaz. To be honest, this site is just plain creepy. It is difficult and monotonous to use, and the results are scary, even when I used a picture of a woman and not myself. It has nothing in common with Photoshop; this site makes edits for you to uploaded pictures of faces. It is more an advertising site than anything else, showing you what you would look like wearing certain brands of makeup or wearing the hairstyle of certain celebrities. Its target audience is probably young women, but it seems like a scam and the results of the edited pictures creep me out. There should definitely not be a link.



I created this picture of myself on picmonkey using the same screenshot as on taaz. I like this site because it is easy to use and has even more effects than aviary. There are numerous cool filters to put on pictures, and it also does the basic editing functions such as crop and rotate. It doesn’t have as many advanced features as Photoshop, but at the same time it is easier to use. It targets the general, basic level photo-editor. I would recommend uploading a link to this site because it is different from Photoshop but it offers some cool and easy to use tools.
