The Old Dog Demonstrates: Improving Your Blog While Having Fun With Photo Editing Tools!

in #photography7 years ago

I've often marveled at the photo editing that is done by other Steemers such as @meesterboom. If you haven't seen some of his work just check out his blog. Not only will you see some great graphics work but he's a very talented and funny writer!

Would You Like to See What Some Free Editing Tools Can do? Let's go!


The effects on the these pictures were done with a free program called Prisma. Using it is easy and fun. I then used another program called Phonto to add the text!


Here's the original photo which was taken by my son during our Steemcation this summer. That's right, we had a great holiday which was entirely funded by blogging on Steemit! What a blast!


Here Are Some More Examples of What You Can do With This Program


To do the mirroring I used an on line tool called LunaPic. It can do a LOT of other things as well so take the time to explore its features. I know that I will!


Prisma offers dozens of free effects like the ones that I show here and there are many more that you can purchase if you so desire! I think that you could create some really cool decorative art with your photos using these and similar tools!

Why Not Have Some Fun And Embelish Your Blog With Photo Editing?

Yes with great bloggers like @meesterboom leading by example we can all step up the fun and quality of our posts by using free photo editing tools. Why not give it a shot!

Hey Old Dog, there could be big bucks in it for you if you get good enough at Prisma to make even me look good!

Your inner beauty will shine through no matter what the photo shows!

Gay! :P

You cannot solve everything with software, lol ;-)

I might also get lucky to be among those who will look good after his touch.

Oh the first pic is super GREAT!!! I will absolutly do that too ;-)
Yeah... @meesterboom has some nice pics... also @roused uses some nice effects.
Thanks for sharing :-)

Thanks @steemitri! You an your hosts are doing great things both in and outside of Steemit!

wow.... this is really nice i will try my luck with it..
Mean while, the Old Dog seems pretty good. Thumbs up sir.
Maybe i should send some pictures so you help me look good or better still apply for some tutorials.

Yes it can make even an Old Dog look pretty good!

yea sure. How about the lectures??

I had Prisma on my phone before but I ended up deleting it as I only used it once for a selfie. I prefer to manipulate my photos manually - I use Snapseed (quite powerful) on my phone and Capture One on the computer. As a photographer, I love playing with these tools as they allow me to create different moods in my photos.

Thanks a lot for your advice. I'll have a look at the tools that you mentioned.

You are welcome :-)

I think that the original photo was really nice but I didn't take it. My son is getting into photography now and we had a lot on that holiday!

Your son photography hand it's excellent.

I don't like Prizma! But this is cool edit :)

Hey thanks. I had a lot of fun with it. What editor do you use?

I don't use editor for Steemit, I like real photos. But, I use Snapseed for Instagram because it's all on mobile app

instagram make pictures clear but not funny @pepe.maya

I agree with you at @ meesterbom excellent posts need to look at such works. Your photos are the same good. Thank you for the help.

4 excellent photo! nice art

Nice. I just use some editor on google photos..

Are you happy with it?

The editor has some basic features and thats enough for me. Don't think I am ever be a designer.. and I think that 90% normal pictures are the best.. They were witness of the truth..

that picture is really cool, what a neat idea. I had never heard of this software but will certainly check it out. Thank you so much for sharing!

Yes it was fun. Give it a try!

I've already downloaded it but unfortunately its only available for my phone and not on my pc! I already tried it out, really cool. Thanks for sharing.

Glad to read this!

That's quite superb indeed :D

Thanks so much!

That looks good, And seems easy as you say. I will sure give it a try. Thanks for sharing those new tools!

Yes it is easy but like anything else you need to work with it a bit to figure out all of the features.

no @kus-knee
i not try it,,, because i don't drink.

Those are some fun images indeed. I think this type of photo editing adds a nice vibe to a fun personal blog post! And it can be used in all kinds of contexts too. Pretty nice!

Thanks a lot @rocking-dave. I've always enjoyed what @meesterboom does and so I decided to explore this avenue a bit!

Yep, he's setting a good example. When we dare to be a bit more creative even if we don't have any specific aspirations, it all becomes more fun for us and more fun for our readers! At least, it looks like it :) I certainly enjoy post that have a fun visual element and I think your photo edits turned out great.

Nice conversation about photo editing. Probably I have fun edit with photo. Its my one of interesting thing. I used Phonto tools for it.
