Free Online Photo Editting

Sometimes you need to clean up an image to import it into Boardmaker or you need to resize it to use it in a teacher made book or worksheet. I tend to use the two photo editors which have add ons in Firefox, Snip Shot and Picnik, but I also us Pixenate which has more complex tools and flauntR which embellishes as well as cleans up photos. Save these links to your book marks in case you need them.

• FotoFlexor
• flauntR
• Picnik*
• Pixenate
• Snipshot*
  
• Splashup

*Firefox add on available

Also VectorMagic is not a photo editor by turns images into high quality vector images like those in Boardmaker, perfect for picture you plan to import into Boardmaker. And Sporkforge which turns a photo into a sketch which is fun as well.

Free Online Digital Photo Editing

Sometimes I need to edit digital photos, either my own or ones I find online, to make them into photo symbols, however I am not a very artistically gifted person and my hard drive is of limited size, so I don't have any photo editing software downloaded. (Although if you do want to download high quality, free photo editing software I suggest Paint.net or GIMP.)

When I am in such a situation there are two Web 2.0 solutions I turn to:

• Picnik
  
• SnipShot

Some where online there is a tutorial on how to use Paint.net and similar programs to make high contrast/low vision photograph symbols to import into Boardmaker, but I can't find it.
