Resources: Digitial Images

On my blog I have added a slide show that has two photos that I have modified on piZap. The first picture is an instructor from the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago who is touching the nose of a whale. In this picture I have merged my photo (my face) into the original picture, the end product is me touching the whales nose. The second picture is Da Vinci's painting of the Mona Lisa. I have edited the painting to have my face in the picture rather than Mona Lisa, I have also added text that says "Incorporate yourself into the masterpiece at The Art Institute of Chicago". I choose these two picture to edit because my final project will discuss the Shedd Aquarium and The Art Institute of Chicago.

The first site I visited was called Photoshop, at first it seemed like a decent site until after I registered. Once I completed the registration I tried to upload a picture and it advised me that it was unable to find picture, so I tried some more pictures and it still wouldn't work.
Therefore, I felt like this site was a waste of time.

The second site I visited was called Picnik, my first impression of the site was the organization of the program and the bright colors. As I started working on my assignment I found that the options that were available were not sufficient enough for what I wanted to do. The site seemed pretty basic, such as cropping, rotate, colors, exposure, red eye, sharpen and resize.
To conclude, I felt this site was satisfactory.

The third site I visited was called piZap, my first impression of the site was that it was amusing because of all the different accessories you could add to a picture, such as funny eyes, noses, lips, hair, jewelry etc... Due to the fact that I didn't like any of the other sites that I had already visited I decided to continue, and there was no registration which was definitely a bonus because now I have about 2 or 3 new photoshop accounts hahaha. I enjoyed using this site because it was easy to understand, well organized, clear description of tools and it helped me complete my assignment the way I wanted too. I can definitely see myself revisiting piZap with other assignments and when I have a class of my own because they're a lot of fun and interesting things to do on this site.
Therefore, this is my favorite photo shop site.
