Photo Friday

Welcome back to one of my favorite features of the week — Photo Friday!  This week I chose a favorite photo to show you how to edit a photo for sharing on your social media channels and make it blog worthy.

Photography is becoming a major hobby in my life.  I find myself keeping a camera with me to capture spontaneous images.  This hobby is also translating into helping grow my blog by sharing great images.

Photo Friday

Here is the image of the week, if you well; I love this photo of my daughter and her friend peering into a creek.  This is the original image without any edits.  I added my watermark and blog address at the bottom.

Original image with no editing

How did I edit this photo to make it more interesting?  I used ADOBE LIGHTROOM for the first edits such as exposure adjustments, lighting, tone (yellow or blue), saturation, and cropping.  Then I moved onto PICMONKEY. 

If you do not have Adobe Lightroom I think Picmonkey is a great photo editing option.

PicMonkey Edits

The original in black and white with watermarks and photo tools

In Lightroom I created a black and white version of the original.  I could have done this PicMonkey too but I was already in Lightroom experimenting.  I uploaded the image to my PicMonkey account and started playing.  First I added my web page watermark.  Then I moved on to framing tools.  I used  the Daguerreotype framing feature to give the image an aged look.  I love the effect.

The original, edited in Lightroom and PicMonkey.

This is the same photo but with enhanced color (saturation and vibrance) done in Lightroom (I love my Lightroom!).  In PicMonkey I added the watermarks and the framing.  For this shot the framing is the Photo Corners.

Photo and Image Editing Resources

Cruising the internet I found several image, graphic, and infographic resources to easily create for your blog.  Some of these I had not heard of but will love testing them out.  I’d love to hear which platforms you use to create graphics and images for your blog.  My favorites so far are PicMonkey and Canva.

      Hi Mary, I love editing my photos. It makes a HUGE difference to do some post editing. I’m still learning but it is great fun and educational to experiment with different edits. Thank you for visiting. Tammi

    Hi Tammi, I absolutely love PicMonkey and spend far too long messing a round on there. I recently started to subscribing to the whole PicMonkey package and am not disappointed.

    It is amazing how different and more interesting the same picture can look with a different lighting applied to it.

      Debbie – I signed up for the full package at PicMonkey too. I think it is a wonderful tool for creating printables, editing photos, and creating other images. Whatever it takes to create an interesting and appealing image! Tammi
