Interesting and Fun Photo Effects Available with On-Line Photo Editors

Beautiful photo-I love the vintage look and effect. How long did it take you to play with this to make the end result?

Myrl - That is really cool! What a great picture... Love It! Thanks for sharing! - Paige

Hi Myrl, Great effect. I was looking at an article today and it was showing this effect with a few other processes added on top. Some of the plugins avaiilable depending on the program offer such things a paper folds, coffer cup rings etc. The article and photo added those two to vintage and it looked like an old photo that had been stored, faded, wrinked and with the added coffee cup stain that was faded. It was sensational. Unfortuneatly it did not say where the plug-ins were from but guessing they were plug-ins to Photoshop professional version.

Hi Myrl, I've been using iPiccy and picmonkey (but have yet to try Ribbet) and can get totally lost in playing around with it. I just love the vintage effect - it's the perfect one for a photo of Old Sacramento. This is a great photograph to frame ... and would make a beautiful settlement gift, too.

I haven't ventured beyond the basic fixes with the online editors, but I don't know how I ever lived without them.  This effect is very cool.

Hi Myrl, I like this vintage editing and I especially like the way you can see the writing on the background. I will have to try it too. Thanks for sharing this great picture as it is so different than William's ship.

Hi Myrl, What often happens is that unless you know what is under the often misleading title of the tool, all the treasures of the textures and effects are not known. One of my favorite corrections is in Ribbet.com. I am going to share it right here with you and it will probably become one of yours as well because of what it does. It is called Eye Bright. This is found in the broad category on tool bar under the title Touch-Up. Your first instinct is that it brightens eyes and if you are working in other type of photos you pass right over it. Upload any image to ribbet.com and use the brush to brighten faces, darkened areas, areas you to want with more highlight. It is a tool I use over and over , perhaps on every photo in one way or another. Use the fade feature to add more or less to segments of the image. Works fabulously on parts of clouds, trees, homes, features in rooms, etc. It brings things to a brighter life.

Myrl,

I'm impressed with the capabilities of the online picture editors. Simple, powerful, and easy to use. Your vintage pic looks great.

Myrl, this is amazing, and leave it to a superb photographer like you to enlighten us. Thanks.

Good morning Myrl. Terrific photo and the enhancements make it warmer and more inviting. Good information.

Thanks, Myrl, for sharing your photo editing skills.

I need to learn how to do this.

Myrl, ahhh...something new to check out.  There are so many cool tools out there for us to use...wish I had more time to learn it all. 

I love photo-editing programs; my preference right now is iPiccy but I sometimes switch to Ribbet. I don't think Ribbet lived up to it's promises. I'm still learning/playing with Photoshop when I get the spare hour or two.

Myrl,

            Thanks for the blog; I am really getting into photography and I am hoping.I will stop by William's blog and check it out! I hope you are having a great Weekend!

Myrl,

I'm impressed! That's very impressive and cool! I like them both but the vintage shot would really work well for Christmas cards or special family photographs.

I really admire you Myrl. You're always learning new things and you're a joy on ActiveRain.

Hi Myrl - That is a great effect and really does look like a document that is 100 years old, but it couldn't be because it has your signature on it and you aren't anywhere near half that old!  It's all very mysterious! lol

Have an outstanding week with your camera in hand.  I always enjoy your photographs.
