#36 - Photo Editing

Well, I'm back on the track of Library 2.1. I haven't done any of these little "lessons" since last November, but I thought I would try a few tonight. As I was checking out the different on line photo editing sites but I only tried a couple - the ones that don't require registrations - I don't want to register for any more websites. As I sat and waited for sites to load, I remembered trying these a while back and not being very pleased. Sure 'nough, the first one I tried was Fauxto (which I believe is now called Splashup) because it's supposed to be so fantastic - guess what - it doesn't work. At least not for me. It will not open any photo I have stored on my MightyDrive. I remembered it happening a few months back - and it happened again today.

So, I moved on to Pixenate, which I had tried before. I remember actually being able to open photos this time, but for the life of me, I can not get rid of any red eye in any photo. And isn't that one of the major reasons people want to edit their pictures? I was able to use some of the other tools with ease - but the red eye thing is pissing me off - I have a great picture of me and my cat- but I look totally demented (quiet in the peanut gallery).

I was able to resize one photo and lighten it as I had not used flash for this particular shot. Here's the before and after:











Incidentally, does anyone else notice the disturbance in the after picture? Is my cat's tail possessed?

Hi,

I'm the developer of Pixenate. Can you send me the red-eye photo so I can fine-tune the red-eye tool?
