Photo Editing Fun

Usually, the photos that I share here have only had minimal editing done (e.g. cropping, brightness/contrasting, and sometimes temperature/saturation). As a rule, I use Picnik to do my photo editing and it's the perfect website for a amateur photographer like me. :-)
Today I was in the mood for some fun editing so I chose a few photos from my ever-growing collection of photos on my computer...unique photos that look interesting when more dramatic editing is added to them. I'll show you before and after editing each photo as well as the name of the Picnik feature I used to get that look.
{Photo #1}


Before: Bouquet of flowers on grand piano

After: I used Picnik's "Orton-ish" feature on this photo. I love
the antique look that it gave this picture.
{Photo #2}
Before: A cheerful Day Lily

After: I used focal Black & White to add an interesting touch
to this photo.
{Photo #3}
Before: A little inlet near Bermuda's capital city, Hamilton

After: For this photo, I used "Sepia" to imitate the look
of an older picture.

{Photo #4}
Before: Willowbank Hotel's entrance sign

After: In this picture, I used Picnik's "Lomo-ish" tool to create
an unique look for this photo

  1. I use Picnik a lot, too! :) I love the editing you did! It's really neat how you can totally change a photo like that, isn't it?

    Love and hugs,

  2. My favorites are the Willowbank Resort and the flowers on the grand piano. The effects that you used on those brought out the main focus in the picture. I used Piknik to do my header. I really like that photo editor!

    Have a nice day!

  4. I love the second one!! I have picnik, but I can't really figure out how to use it!! Do you pay for an account, or just have the free thing? I wish someone could walk me through how to do it! I see all the neat things you can do and really want to do them on my photos...

    Love in Christ,
    Sarah

  5. Beautiful! I love the edits - especially the one with the flowers on the grand piano. "Ortonish" is one of my favorite effects to add.
    Oh, and I love your new background and the big photos! It really makes your blog shine. :D
