Cool Photo Editing Tips Nobody Knows

Come all ye Free Photo Editor, from old pros to Level 1 users! We’ve got something here that you definitely want to see. We’ve scaled high mountains, convened with the spirits, and dug under some pretty big rocks to attain all this knowledge and now we are so generously gifting it to you. Watch the following video (or read the following words) and behold the time-savingest, most bad*ss list of photo editing tips and design magic the world has ever known.

Rotate and straighten objects

You can rotate objects in 15 degree increments, by holding the Shift key and pulling the top rotate handle to the right or left.

To straighten an object that you’ve rotated, right-click and click Straighten. The line is taken to the nearest 45 degree angle.

This tip works on any graphic or text. If you want to, say, stretch a speech bubble to make it wider, drag the side handles to make it wider or narrower and the top/bottom handles to make it taller or shorter. This will let you both resize it and change its shape. You can do the same thing with a corner handle, if you hold down the Shift key, but on their own these handles resize the image without changing the aspect ratio.

To return to your original shape, right-click and select Original aspect ratio.

For a deeper dive, see How to Edit Graphics.

Duplicate text or graphics

There are two ways to duplicate objects in Image Editor:

Right-click and choose Duplicate. This is useful if you’ve already customized (size, color, etc.) your object and want to make a copy of it.

Select the object and hit Control + D on your keyboard. (That’s Command + D on a Mac.)

Group and multi-select objects

To select multiple layers in your canvas, hold the Shift key and click each object you want to select on your canvas. To select all the layers in your canvas, hit CMD + A (or CTRL + A on a PC).

To select consecutive layers from the Layers palette, hold the Shift key and pick the first and last layer you want. Everything in between will also be selected. If you only want certain layers, instead of consecutive layers, hold the CMD key while you’re selecting, instead of the Shift key.

To group several layers together, right-click and choose Group on the Multiple Layers palette. Now they’re one layer and you can move them together and add the same effects and textures across all of them. To separate back into distinct layers, click Ungroup on the Group palette.

True alignment

In Image Editor text and graphics align to each other, instead of the bounding box, so it’s super easy to get clean looks.

If you have any grids or alignments turned on, hold down the Control key and you can move your object freely.

Pro tip: This is really handy if you want to apply a drop shadow across multiple objects.

Create a Face Swap Online in 3 Easy Steps By Photo Editor

Have a sweetheart who’s peachy keen or a close pal who could use laugh? Delight your loved ones (and only kinda freak them out) by presenting them with a photorealistic face swap made right here in Online Photo Editor!

Use these 3 quick steps to swap faces in Photo Editor:

Open your picture
Cut out your faces
Place face swaps onto the original image

For the natural-est face swap this side of the interwebs, start by picking the right photo. The pic you choose should not only feature the two faces that you want to interchange, but both faces should be angled in a similar way.

1. Open your picture

Click Create new on the homepage to open a swap-worthy pic from your computer. If your photo’s already in Hub, select it and click Edit a copy (you’ll want to keep the original file in mint condition for later steps in your project).

Click the square pancakes icon in the bottom toolbar to open the Layers palette. In the Layers palette, select the background layer—it’s your photo. Click Convert to layer. This prepares your photo for swapization.

2. Cut out your faces

Making sure the photo layer is selected, click Erase in the Graphics palette. In broad strokes, erase everything around your first face. Don’t worry about whether it’s perfect yet. You can always go back and erase more during the next steps.

Zoom in on your image to erase in finer detail; adjust the Size slider so you don’t accidentally take too much off. (But if you do, you can always use the brush to paint it back on). You’ll want your Hardness slider to be on the softer side.

Once it’s looking like a proper floating visage, we can move on to the next one! The isolated face you just made will have been auto-saved in Hub for when you need it later—so you don’t need to do anything to save it. You don’t even need to close it! Just click Create new on the upper-left of the editor to open another copy of the original file in Hub or regrab the original image from your desktop. Repeat the same steps above to extract the second face.

Important concept: When you’re editing images you’ve stored in Hub, you’ll often want to choose Edit a copy, because the minute you start editing, auto-save will overwrite the original.

3. Place face swaps onto the original image

When both faces are cleaned and ready, click Create new. Open your original image one more time from your computer or create one last copy from Hub. To summon your cropped face file, open the Graphics tab (the shapes icon) and click the Add your own button at the top of the menu. Find your first face in Hub and click Open image.

It may not look like it, but your file is now resting on top of the original image. F’real! Click and hold the face to glide it around the place it over the other person’s face. Use the corner handles to size it perfectly. You can use the Fade slider to make the face slightly transparent so it will be easier to line up the features. Turn the top handle to rotate the head so that it’s in the right position.

If the faces are at a slight angle, you may find that flipping a face horizontally (arrows next to the rotate buttons) makes the features look more realistic.

You can also use the eraser to smooth out any edges on the face. For example if Face #1’s forehead is blocking some of Face #2’s little forehead hairs, use the eraser to shave off some of the overlay.

Repeat this step with the second face. Then smooth the edges one last time with the Erase tool, and if you’re feelin’ it, toss in some other finishing touches with effects and touch-ups.

Create Your Best Profile Pic by Image Editor

In the world of social media, nothing’s more important than your profile pic. It’s the first thing that everyone sees, so having a good one will help you make a positive first impression.

But what makes a winning profile pic? Lots of things! What your wear, how you smile, what kind of background you use—they all go into making you look your best. We’ve got top-tier tools and tips to help you shoot, edit, and post your best profile pic so you can make a splash on all your favorite social networks.

Shooting your profile pic

Great profile pics start with the shoot. Here are a few tips and tricks:

Use a neutral or muted background. White backgrounds can wash out lighter skin tones, and brightly colored backgrounds can cast an uncomplimentary hue across the skin.

Use soft, natural light and avoid harsh flashes. This will ensure you look your best and will avoid obvious shadows.

Show your brightest, most natural smile. Don’t be afraid to flash your pearly whites!

Avoid selfies where you can see or sense that your arm is holding the camera. Instead, use a self-timer or have someone else take your picture.

Experiment with angles. Some people say shooting from above works best, but everybody has a good side. Try different angles and positions to find yours.

Profile pics for professional sites

Profile pics on professional sites like LinkedIn should look, well, professional. Here are some ideas on how to achieve that I-will-be-the-best-employee-you’ve-ever-had look:

Wear clothes that are appropriate for your profession. But if you feel like dressing up a bit, go for it. Going the extra mile by wearing a suit can give the impression that you’re capable and competent.

Smile, but don’t go overboard. You want to appear approachable and inviting without looking like you’re laughing.

Squinch. Yes, you heard that right. Everyone’s talking about squinching, which is basically what happens to your eyes when you smile. According to psychological research, wide eyes denote fear while slightly squinting denotes competence.

Avoid hats, glasses, and other accessories. They not only make you look too casual, they tend to hide or obscure your eyes, which are the most important part of a great portrait.

Stick with the tried and true head and shoulders shot. Close-cropped head shots can feel a little overwhelming for the viewer, and full body shots don’t work well in the confines of a small profile pic.

Avoid using effects or filters. However, if you’d like to use a simple black and white effect like we did in the pic above, feel free. Traditional black and white lends a nice touch of class to your professional portrait.

How to Organize Your Social Media Content Calendar

How to Organize Your Social Media Content Calendar by Photo Editor

Keeping an organized and updated social media content calendar is a golden rule to live by for social media marketers and pretty much anyone who intends to use social media for business purposes.

A social media content calendar is a tool to help you plan the content you intend to create and share. A content calendar can be built in various tools such a Google Sheets, Trello, or even directly in your social media scheduling tool.

By strategically planning ahead of time, you can ensure that there is something new and exciting in store for your audience every single day.

With a calendar, you can plan and schedule your social posts in advance, manage campaigns, stay true to your deadlines, and avoid dropping the ball.

From marketing teams and small business owners to consultants, media companies, and bloggers, everyone can reap the benefits of organizing a social media content calendar to perfection. Here is everything that you need to know to get started.

Give Your Current Social Media Efforts a Quick Audit

Before you organize your social media content calendar, it is important for you to take a step back and have a look at exactly what you have been doing and how well it has been working for you.

Conduct a social media audit to check which platforms you are on, which ones you would like to start using, which platforms are working best for you, how many times per day you have been posting, etc. This will give you a good starting point so that you can strategize and organize your calendar to address the blind spots in your current plan.

Set Social Media Goals

First, figure out what both your short term and longterm goals are. Then, reverse engineer to break it down into several short-term goals that will take you one step closer to meeting your end goal.

Do not bite off more than you can chew – set small and simple short-term goals that will add up to something substantial in time. Be as specific as you can about what you hope to achieve. Under the headings of content, followers/subscribers, sales, and traffic set goals that you want to accomplish in a realistic time frame. One thing to remember is that results do take time. Everyone wants the golden ticket to quick success, but that mindset is likely not going to do your social media efforts any good.

Find the Right Content Mix

While your primary concern might be to get the word about your business and services out there, it is also important that you give the customers what they are looking for – valuable advice, informative articles, answers to their questions, and relationship building content.

While organizing your social media content calendar, plan the right mix, which includes different types of content designed to meet the needs of your audience as well as your business. Color code your content types to avoid confusion. Ensure that each category contributes to getting closer to your goals. Photo Editor has a great post on social media content ideas for your content calendar that’s definitely worth checking out.

Focus on Educating, Empowering, Entertaining, and Engaging

Your core areas are generally the problems you hope to solve and issues you intend to address with your content.

Every single one of your social media posts should focus on one of the above key points. Every time you create content, ask yourself if your content is educating your audience, empowering them, and keeping them entertained and engaged. If it fits in at least two of these categories, you are good to go, if you touch on all 4 points, even better.

Set Up an Updated Repository of Content Assets .

A content repository is where you store all the different types of content, links, images, and other important details.

When you start planning and scheduling content, all you will be required to do is to select the right piece of content for the day and post it or schedule it as needed.

Your content repository should include the title, link, information about the type, image, and pertinent quotes or stats that you have picked out of the content to be posted. All of this information will help you create the final social media posts in no time at all.

This is a great practice for both manual publishing and scheduling. When creating your content, ensure that your images are optimized for each platform that you are using. Online Photo Editor makes this easy with 56+ custom sizes for all your content needs.

Identify The Best Times to Post

An organized social media content calendar can help you get the number of posts you publish on each site just right.

Do the following to discover when and how often you should post on each platform. Have a look at your social media analytics and identify when your audience is the most active on each platform.

Based on this data, decide how often you will post and at that time, you will post. You’ll want to look at the analytics regularly to identify any behaviour changes and to ensure that you are still posting at optimal times.

No matter which direction you go when it comes to content planning, always set aside some time for engaging with your audience. Respond to comments, share curated content from loyal fans, and always identify new ways to be helpful to your audience.

Photo Restoration with Online Photo Editor

There’s something extra special about looking at family photos from back in the day. Isn’t it a bummer when they’re all torn, faded, and damaged? Well, we have some phenomenal news for you: you can fix ’em up with Picture Editor. Preserve your precious photos and say goodbye to creases, cracks, rips, and water damage. Old photo restoration is a quick and fun process. Watch the video to learn what you need to know, or skip down below to read for yourself:

First thing’s first: scan your photos
To get started with your old photo restoration, you’ll want to scan your pictures into a computer. If it’s a PDF, remember to convert it to a JPEG. When it’s ready freddy, drag it onto Online Image Editor’s homepage to open it.

For frayed or torn edges… add it as a graphic

Is the photo you love looking a little rough around the edges? Maybe a piece is torn off or it’s looking a little frayed? One simple fix is to open your image in the Editor and then open it again as an graphic. Stretch the graphic until it’s the same size as your original image and then flip it around so that the part that’s frayed is covered up by the part that’s not. Then just erase what you don’t need.

For wrinkles or tears… say hello to Clone

Clone is everything when it comes to restoring photos. It can help you remove a scratch by painting over it with pixels from an undamaged part of your image: just select a part of the photo that is in good condition and spread the love. Move the dotted circle (your source, or, the starting point for your clone-a-thon) to the part you’d like to clone, click, and then use your cursor (the solid circle) to paint over those less-than-stellar areas.

“Whoa, why can I still see the dotted circle?” That’s the tool showing you where you’re cloning from! Clone is dynamic, which means that as you move your cursor, the area being copied moves with you.

For faded skin and eye color… use Touch Up

Touch Up is an uuuber important part of adding color and life to your faded image. Eye Brighten puts back the light in your eyes along with enhancing the color. And adding some Spray Tan doesn’t necessarily mean your subject is suddenly Oompa Loompa orange. (Unless you want them to be, of course.) But applying a tan on your subject—and lowering the intensity— can make their skin look less faded. Try it out!

For adding polish… apply effects

Photo Editor Online Effects add a nice touch to all photos—even vintage ones! When you’re done editing out scratches and bends, head over to Effects and pick one that you like. You can apply multiple effects if you wish—it’s actually encouraged. And remember, play around with the Fade slider until your effect looks juuuust right.

Tip: If your photo’s got a faded border, one easy fix is to open a black and white effect, paint it off the border and then click Reverse effect so that it’s only applied to the border.

For color correction… use Curves and Colors

Photo seen a little too much sun? Not to worry! Use the Curves tool to subtly pull up highlights and pull down shadows, correcting the overall exposure of your image.

Plus, if the colors themselves are a little wonky, try using the Auto-adjust button in the Colors tool to instantly fix saturation and temperature.

Remove an Object From a Picture Using Clone

Remove an Object From a Picture Using Clone

Have you ever looked at one of your photos and thought, “Ughhhh. This would be perfect if that hair wasn’t out of place…if that fence wasn’t broken…if my thumb wasn’t in the frame…if my sister hadn’t insisted on having her new boyfriend in all my wedding photos when we knew they were just going to break up anyway”? If any of these situations sound familiar to you, you’ll be happy to know there’s a solution to removing unwanted objects from your pictures.

Online Photo Editor’s Clone tool lets you “erase” parts of your photos by covering them up with details from the surrounding area. Check out this tutorial video to learn how to edit something out of a picture with Clone.

Select your cloning source

In this photo the sand is our source for covering up the dude. Click Set source to choose the area of the photo you want to use for covering up the unwanted part of your pic.

Clone is dynamic, so when you move your brush over the new area, the source moves with it like a tagalong kid sister — whatever’s inside that source circle is gonna stamp onto the area you’re cloning. If you’re cloning something that’s a little bit complicated — multiple tree branches, for example, as opposed to solid-colored sand — you should keep re-picking your source so that you don’t veer off and start painting over a part of the image that you want to keep.

Use the Erase and Undo buttons to fix areas you didn’t mean to clone stamp

Oops! The source trailed into the wrong area and you cloned the blue chair onto the guy instead of burying him in sand. Don’t worry if you make a mistake because you can always use the eraser to remove something that you didn’t mean to clone. Alternately, use the undo arrow in the bottom toolbar to go back a step (or 20).

Here’s the finished before and after:

Adjust the hardness of your clone

If it’s a soft touch you’re going for, like cloning grass (as above), a cloudy sky, or someone’s hair, you can adjust the Brush hardness slider so the cloned area is more blurry without a hard, defined edge.

Fido’s super cute and all, but he’s not gonna help you sell your house. Here’s the finished result:

Fading the cloned area

Use the Fade slider to let part of the original image show through. This can be a cool look if you’re going for something abstract or kind of trippy like a double exposure. We got this cool look by cloning the woman to the left of herself, then adjusting the Fade slider to make the cloned version look more transparent.

Make sure you’re cloning the correct layer

If your project is a multilayered work of art, be sure that you’re using the Clone tool on the correct layer. If you accidentally start to clone the wrong layer, no worries, just click Cancel and the mistake won’t apply.

Use the zoom control

For serious, attention-to-detail jobs, zoom way in so you can clone the teensy area you’re after. A good example of when this is useful is restoring old photos, such as removing stains or crease marks from someone’s face. Read more in Photo Restoration with Image Editor.

Online Photo Editor

Online Image Editor is another highly popular photo editing tool available online. The free Basic version offers plenty of editing options that can really make your image pop.

Some key differences that Free Photo Editor offers over Canva are:

Image adjusting – sharpen an image or fix the exposure
Custom effects – give your image a boost of color or soften your image
Image touch ups – whiten teeth, fix blemishes or remove red eye
While Photo Editor also has “fun” filters such as whisker grow or spray tan available in the premium plan, the basic version has more than enough to touch up your photo and add text to it.

It’s easy to use, just upload your image and get to work. While there aren’t any social media templates you can use for your images, Image Editor makes it incredibly easy to crop your photos to a specific size.

One thing that Picture Editor doesn’t have, that Canva does, is the option to save your work to the cloud. With Photo Editor you have to do your touch up and edits all at once, and then download the final image to your computer.

Photo Editor Online offers free tutorials on their blog to help you master all the features available.

WHY USE AN ONLINE PHOTO EDITOR?

First of all, you can use it from anywhere!

The Online Image Editor is created in such a way that it is always accessible without having to install any extra software. From your workplace, at school or at home, as long as you have an internet connection you can use the editor.

FAST AND SIMPLE EDIT TOOLS

All basic functions are available: Cut, Resize and Crop. These features work on all image formats, even on animated GIFs and transparent PNG's

With the Text Tool you can add text to your images. Also add text to animated images is simple and fast.

Merge two images together or blend multiple images. With the opacity setting you can blend images the way it suits you most. Editing an image here is so easy and fast that starting Photoshop takes longer.

Add an animated image onto a static background or add falling snow onto a picture. Your imagination is the limit to create nice dynamic images.

Make an image Tranparent with the Transparency tool. Make the background of an image transparent by simply clicking on the colour that needs to become transparent. Or remove transparency from your image.

Put an Image in Text, including a drop shadow and with transparent background. Who needs Photoshop?!

Add falling rain to an image. How wet is that?

You can even upload your own fonts to the editor and use them to add the text. Just choose your own font from your device and upload it to use it.

Online Picture Editor’s AI Cutout Tool – Automate Your Image Cutouts!

Fresh out the oven: The latest update from Online Photo Editor’s labs that our developers have been baking have been released! While the AI Cutout is still in beta, it’s still good for testing out if you need any parts of your image to be cut out from their background.

Picture Editor’s newly improved cutout tool will extract the best parts of your photo for you. Using AI to trace out the perfect curves and lines of your selected focal point, Cutout tool saves time and subtracts the hassle of extraction.

Here’s how it works:

All you have to do is upload your image – either by drag and drop, or by loading your image into Online Image Editor. I’m using an image from Unsplash for this example.

On the left sidebar, look for the scissors icon and click it to load the side tool menu.

Click on AI CUTOUT and wait a few seconds while the Cutout tool works its magic on your image.

BOOM. Love how the red rose looks so perfectly extracted right here!

And that’s basically how our latest tool release works. Pretty convenient when cutting out selective parts of your images are just a click away. Say bye to the frustrating moments for when you have to manually trace your mouse or stylus to color a masked layer over parts of your photos. Of course, the tool isn’t always 100% accurate, but it sure slices out a huge chunk of time when it comes to masking layers for extraction!

So what happens if there’s some parts the AI Cutout tool clipped away during the extraction process, and you kinda need them back in the picture? All you have to do is click on the Brush icon on the top menu bar to select it, then run your Brush cursor over the parts of the image you want to restore.

Whether you decide to go with our Basic or Advanced version, know that Photo Editor Online is here to help you get creative in a smarter, faster, and easier way by providing you with smooth editing convenience.

Our free version allows you to access the basic features of both Image Editor, with the standard image editing tools and exporting files in the desired formats as stated in the table above. There will be ads, however, because we do need a form of monetary support for our website somehow. But we promise they won’t be too intrusive for your editing experience!

Should you choose the paid version, you’ll have access to our library of digital creative assets and smart editing tools – namely, our AI Cutout tool. There are more features on the way that our developers will be adding on, though, such as Style Transfer – definitely a cool feature to check out. In any case, stay in the loop with our updates page.

Moving Forward With AI Integrated Photography

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing a significant role in everyday life. From perfecting Google searches to recommendations on Netflix and showing us related merchandize on Amazon. Photography is one sector which has been revolutionized by AI in recent years but has gone somewhat under the radar, changing consumer expectations.

Smartphones have become equipped with AI cameras that creates Image Editor that are better than ever whilst automated software is allowing professions to devote their time in being creative rather than focusing purely on taking pictures.

Here, we’ll take a brief look at the ways AI is changing photography and how technology is supporting that.

What comes to mind with AI?

When you hear the term AI, most people tend to visualize something of Terminator style proportions and immediately assume it is somewhere in the distance. However, it is important to realize that AI is all around us and refers to any machine or device that has an understanding akin to a human. A subset of AI is an application known as computer vision which has become prominent in accelerating the world of photography over the last few years.

Whenever a new smartphone is released, the public brace themselves for news of the camera quality. Today, the battle for the best camera doesn’t lie in the hardware, even though it’s still a necessity. It’s really in which brand can create the most innovative algorithms to provide the best shots possible. While it takes time and processing power to train these impressive algorithms, they can be run on low-powered devices without hassle. Both Google and Apple took many years to get where they are today.

AI is being used to augment and manipulate images to create quite astounding results.

Here’s our current AI situation:

The technology being delivered has become known as computational photography which is firmly driven by AI. Apple uses this to drive its portrait mode via the dual-camera phone. The algorithms can recognize people with one camera. The second camera works by creating a depth map to isolate the subject and blur the background. Whilst the technology associated with this isn’t necessarily new, doing it in real-time has been seen as a major breakthrough in photography. This is a brilliant direction where the future of AI in photography is headed.

Android and iOS are both offering impressive night mode features. These are built on AI that make images seem as if they are captured in daylight. Google and Apple have invested time in creating powerful chips to produce real-time photos that some dedicated cameras can’t offer. Deep Fusion on the iPhone uses AI to combine multiple pictures and create a single photo rendered with greater precision and detail. Technology truly is amazing! We’re at a point where AI delivers images and video at a level on par with professional equipment.

So what can we expect for the future?

With further development expected, AI tools may start to replace the technical skills required for photography. For example, Google Clips, the AI-powered camera, can automatically apply the right lighting and composition to an image. While reviews of the technology are far from spectacular, it tells us that Google’s moving toward automated photographers.

In 2020, AI-assisted image stabilization and subject tracking automation will be part of the critical feature upgrades of new smartphones. Right now, shaky hands and bounces can be quite visible with images and videos as people move. AI is helping smartphones cameras become increasingly capable of detecting multiple people and ensuring a sharp focus on the faces. Machine learning powered features allow users to draw a box around subjects. This helps to keep it in focus as your phone automatically rotates during a video.

Next generation smartphones will be able to differentiate between facial hair, clothing and objects to apply filters to each. This could apply effects and quality improvement at an object level as opposed to just the image in its entirety.

That said, Photo Editor Online will be releasing all-new AI integrated tools to help users (like you!) edit and modify your images better!

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) could also be on the horizon. This is a deep form of machine learning that can create photographs from text inputs. In theory, an entire video could soon be created just by feeding some code in GAN.

AI is having a major influence on how photos are edited and the technology required to do so. Humans are still required to add a creative and story-like element to the work. But a lot of what was previously manual labor could be sufficiently augmented with technology.

Create An Instagram-worthy Quote Post For Valentine’s Day

How are you celebrating the day – or month – of love this February? Here’s a sweet little tutorial to help you guys with creating quick and easy Instagram posts (for tomorrow!!!) to fill your social feed with some love!

Table Of Contents
Start Here
Resize or Crop
Add Effects
Add Romantic Quotes
Adjust, Adjust, Adjust
Add Light Leaks
Compare Your Before After Images

Start Here

Open your image in Online Image Editor We went with this gorgeous shot of a couple on the shoreline – absolutely fitting for this Valentine’s Day theme. Of course, we chose one that’s going to fit perfectly in a square sized shot – because that’s perfect for Instagram. Be sure to select a photo that will go well with getting cropped… because that’s the next step!

Resize or Crop

Now, what you’re gonna have to do is crop your selected part of the photo where it showcases the couple – or whatever you plan to focus on in your case! With ours, we went with the standard 1080 by 1080 pixels that Instagram famously touts for their feeds.

Add Effects

Next, click on Effects, and head to Friends, then select Harry to achieve a stunning vintage appearance. This filter makes the sea look greener by adding a yellow tint, and further amplifies the couple’s appearance a little. Of course, you don’t need to replicate what we’ve chosen to the T, but take this as a general guide.

Add Romantic Quotes

So now’s the perfect time to add some text! If you don’t have many quotes to go by and are fine with adding a pre-made one, add this one under Romantic Quotes. Head to Elements, then Stickers, and choose Romantic Quotes. Scroll down and select a preset quote that suits your photo of choice! It says “My favorite place is inside your hug”, how cute is that? Love it. You can make your own quotes too, with whatever text you like.

Adjust, Adjust, Adjust

And now, what you’re going to wanna do is edit the slider settings under Light. So that means adjusting:

Brightness (-40)
Exposure (20)
Contrast (-40)
Black (30)
White (20)
Highlight (-60)
Shadows (-30)

Go with what blends well according to your image, because the lighting of everyone’s photos will be different. Basically, my rule of thumb is, if the text is legible enough without you having to squint, then it’s good to go, baby! If it’s not, tweak the slider settings to adjust the brightness and exposure even more until you can read the quote without getting a headache.

Add Light Leaks

Head to Overlay and add Light Leaks to finish off the romantic, retro beachside sunset gazing look. We went with one that tickles the sides of the photo to add some pink pizzazz. Very cute, very girly, and perfectly Pin-nable or, well, absolutely Instagram worthy.

While most other posts may look bland like this one below… or as I like to call it, Online Photo Editor:

Tips to improve your photo editing skills

Before learning how to improve your editing skills, you can know the image workflow. You need to separate the originals in a safe place. To prevent you from damaging the original photo. You also need to know the Free Photo Editor. Its features and shortcuts. Don’t neglect the Save As a function, that allows saving a copy without modifying the original.

Crop

It is an important tool. You can remove a part of an image. The user shapes a rectangle around the area he wants to keep, and the rest is removed. Rotate and straighten tools are related to the featured crop. Straighten allows you to specify the reference point or the horizon line. Rotate allows you to rotate an image. It is wise to rotate first and then crop. You will have the proper orientation.

Brightness and contrast

You can increase or decrease the relation between the darks and bright. It is possible to increase r decrease the image brightness. Combinations of contrast and brightness have a great impact on your photo. The combination can soften the visual impact or make it stronger.

7 Best tips for real estate photography

7 Best tips for real estate photography By Online Photo Editor

Real estate photography is one of the most interesting carrier options for aspiring photographers, wherein pictures are taken mostly in wide angles with detailed shots- to showcase online the features of property to be sold or rented, before the customer actually comes to inspect it personally. Real Estate photography is of mighty importance when it comes to presentation of the property as it is virtually a portfolio before interview.

When tenant or buyer searches for a property to buy or rent online, the global community acts as one of the most important factors in influencing their decisions. Hence these pictures are scientifically proven to have a long lasting impact on human brain than words. Now in case of real estate, pictures act as an initial point of contact for the tenant or the buyer, therefore quality and contrasts should be top notch. If you do a good job in clicking amazing real estate pictures then be sure, you will be in constant demand from estate agents, designers, architects, decorators, and builders. Here are some points to consider before you begin;

1. Preparation should come first in your list before any venture. Full frame Camera is best for this kind of photography, you can go for; Canon EOS 6D, Nikon D610 or Sony Alpha SLT-A99. In addition to camera, your Lenses play a crucial role if you want to take professional level pictures. Opt for wide angle lens (24mm) here since they help visually enlarge the room and create a more appealing look. OH! And don’t forget your tripod and lighting equipment to ease the shooting process! So that you can take photos in standing position with the tripods help to get rid of blurred Image Editor.

2. De-cluttering and organizing; ask your client to clean the rooms and outsides in advance. You can remove the undesirables lying around the house, which you do not want to capture in your picture. Ensure proper placement of furniture, vases and other decorative items in a house which you want to include in the picture, you can also use props to add live and color in bland places. It is often better to take a few shots prior to the photo session while walking around the house inside out just to examine the type of pictures you can click to compare and chose from after the adjustments that you have made.

3. The first image that any buyers sees is the overall picture of the property, you can take some good shots here with the inclusion of pool, garage, garden and backyard anything that the retailer highlight’s. If you have a drone that’s great, you can go for some Arial shots, from the front and directly above (20-30m) to capture an overview of the whole estate. Moreover if you have time, you can take similar pictures during night after turning on all the lights.

4. Based on your perspective of each room, you can take 2-3 shots with furniture, fireplace, windows and room layout as highlights. Rather than taking photographs from the coroner try finding interesting and unusual angels to stand out from the crowd. Some must have shots should include the living room, kitchen, dining area, master bedroom, master bath. Well defined images at different heights are necessary here as buyers seek different areas in detail based on their preferences, use the tripod here to capture sharp images at different angles make sure to showcase the spaciousness and versatility of the property.

5. Kids room, if kids are to live, there must be some fun stuff in their room which can be organized, the swing hanging in the backyard tree, seesaw or the park nearby are some good spots for you. The result varies based on your skills and equipment. The image quality typically hinges on many factors controllable and uncontrollable. For example you can learn to correct light temperature, it helps you troubleshoot a lot of problems quickly and swiftly. With artificial lighting it often happens that you get an unpleasant yellow tint in bathrooms and such areas. You can eliminate this defect by moving the yellow (or orange) slider until the yellow shade turns into a plain white light.

6. When you are processing the pictures use high end Online Image Editor and try to keep the pictures as close to natural as possible. Alternatively you can outsource this task to save your time, and get it done from other professionals. You can create a portfolio online with low resolution pictures while high resolution pictures can be catalogued to be presented to the clients.

7. I would also recommend taking some video clips as well with an overview of the property at different angels in rooms with proper layout; you can use the drone for complete overview of the estate from the sky which can also include the locality when zooming out.

There you go with the essentials; it is extremely important that you pick the day (avoid cloudy or rainy weather at all cost) and time wisely for best shots. It would be optimum to schedule a photo shoot during the daytime so that you can get a lot of natural light and bright, saturated colors in your pictures. If possible capture some pictures during sunrise or sunset; you will get some of the most wonderful shots.

Create unique pieces with Online Image Editor

Changing the way a photo can look can be very useful. Not every one of us has a decked up studio with bright lights and a costume rack to pull out of our pockets every time we want to click a photograph. Having and maintaining the equipment would be another task that comes along with investing in these things. And so that is why most of us got to work with what we have.

When you are an editor or creator of photographs being able to edit them instantly to make them look more attractive and interesting can be a great blessing. Using free online tools or apps can make this a reality for you especially when you’re on a tight budget.

Black and white effect

The black and white effects bring about a different vibe to your picture. It instantly has a precious aura about it when applied. In photography, when you compare a colored Online Image Editor to a black and white photo, you will notice that the textures in the image are more emphasized in the black and white than in the colored ones. One thing to keep in mind when using this effect is to not get trapped in the dreaded flat grey tone. Intense black and white photos can only be generated when the original colored photo is full of contrast. So next time you take a photo, ensure that you have good lighting and proper contrast so that when you convert to a black and white image, it pops. If you happen to take a colored photo that isn’t intense in its colors, don’t fret. You can try playing around the default brightness and contrast scales in your phone or computer and make your original photo more concentrated and then convert the high contrast colored photo into a black and white one for the best effect. The main place to use this effect is when you want to strip off the distracting colors of the picture and want the viewer to notice the subject more than the surroundings.

Vintage effect

This filter takes you back plenty of years and gives your viewer a retro feeling. Plenty of things can make your picture evoke the feeling of a different time. Making your image more grainy, having some lines here and there, or even having a browner tone can help you achieve this look. For this effect to be its finest, you need to do the opposite of what you did to get the black and white effect. The key here is to lower the contrast and brightness to a certain level and then apply the effect.

Lomo effect

The Lomo effect is quite well known. This effect is produced when the edges of the photo are made darker with a bit of distortion and the center of the photo is sharper. The resultant photo that has this effect applied is saturated in its color and gives a more distinctive look.

Pop art effect

Bring back the 1960s. The pop-art effect turns your Online Image Editor into a fun version of itself. The distinctive features in an image that has this effect are its bold lines, fuller color and clear representation of the object in the image. Lighter photos have a more olden day magazine or a comic book feel to it and darker photos having the same effect with a more deepened in color. The wildly common purpose of this art was in advertising, but it can also translate well in your images. Take advantage of this effect and always remember to only keep a particular object or person in the frame when using it so that your image turns great.

Color splash effect

The first time I saw this effect was on a jewelry store’s website. The cover photo in the header of the home page had an image of a model wearing dainty gold jewelry. The image was turned into a rich black and white image, making the model look like an oxidized silver goddess. However, the thin gold jewelry she was wearing was a brilliant gold. You can achieve this effect too with the color splash effect. With this effect you can, as the name states, splash on the color to specific parts of your picture to create a dramatic look and draw in emphasis.

Tilt and shift effect

This effect is one that gives the viewer a different perspective. It makes the subject in your image be angled in a way that they would probably look like a toy. This effect uses the angle of the image to its benefit. Whenever we take a picture we usually take it in a straight line when compared to the plane where we are focusing. When we tilt the image, we are essentially changing the way it looks. However, this is not a simple framing trick. When applied as a digital effect, it shows the image in a wider angle and uniquely captures details.

Another place where you can use this effect is when you want to photograph a tall building in its entirety.

Fisheye lens effect

This is an effect that alters the perception of our reality. As the name suggests, this effect causes you to see the image as though you are looking at it through the eyes of a fish. It blows out a part of your image into a bigger proportion which many a time can give out a fun result. When you apply this effect to your image, you will be bending it into a circular shape and pinching certain areas and zooming into others. The best place to use this effect is probably a panorama of the night’s sky.

Photography tips and tricks

Anyone who wants to shoot an image wants it to look perfect. Anyone with some money and interest in photography can get access to a great camera. But this doesn’t guarantee that the pictures will look great. The good news is that we are going to give you some really interesting tips and tricks to take you to another level.

Having a clean lens

Photography is the process of capturing light. If you have any questions about this, you may have to understand the fundamentals of photography. So, what you capture in the camera is what goes inside the lens. A smudged or scratched lens is probably going to make the photo bad. Scratched lenses need to be changed which will burn a hole in your pocket. The general advice is to always use lens cases when the lenses are not in use. Having a clean microfibre cloth like the ones that you get with spectacles or shades is going to help you clean smudges on the lens. Be careful not to use a dirty microfibre cloth or a normal cotton cloth to wipe your lens which will start scratching it.

Sturdy hands and right shutter speed

We all have faced this situation where we wanted to get that one picture rightly clicked within a very little time we had and, in a panic, ended up clicking a photo that looks like an oil painting smudged by Mr. Bean. Well, I cannot forgive a photographer who doesn’t take time to learn the art of holding the camera. It’s very simple – just use both your hands. While you hold the body of the camera with one hand, the other hand must be holding the lens in case of a DSLR or such cameras and, try not to keep a minimum shoulder flexion and keep your arms close to your body where they have a place to rest. This provides better stability (DUH!). This works both for DSLR cameras and mobile phones.

Setting up the shutter speed in a manual mode can be tricky if you are new to the mode. I am going to give you the formula to get this right.

Know the focal length of the lens

Use this formula to calculate the shutter speed (works mostly in good lighting conditions. Use ISO tweaks to get the lighting right for a darker environment)

1/F (focal length in mm) = Speed of shutter (Minimum)

Ex. If you are using a 100mm lens, then the shutter speed will be 0.001 seconds or 1/100 second.

Rule of the thirds

If this is not the first article that you are reading about photography trips, you would’ve come across this tip a lot. This rule is going to be the secret concoction that helps you click stunning landscape pictures with centralized objects.

Turn on the grid in your camera and locate your object in one-third of the screen where the grid intersects. If the object is a person, it is better for the person to either look straight at the camera or look at the two-third of the screen.

This tip will make the image more aesthetic and the eye will wander the frame.

Frame the photo

It is always better to have a frame for your photo to make it bold. What if the photo itself has a beautiful frame for the object? Clicking a picture with an object just being there and the same object with a frame in the photo itself will create a world of a difference. This tip may not work all the tip for all situations however, look around and see if you can frame the object using anything that is available there. It is very important to make it look natural and not where it becomes obvious that you wanted to use it just for the sake of it.

In this photo even though the lens seemed to be introduced intentionally, it makes a great frame for the temple since the photographer chose to give it some depth by blurring the background.
