Editing Digital Images and Paint.NET

There are many different ways to edit digital images. The sources provided to us in EDT620 were Google Plus Photo, Photoshop.com, and Paint.NET. Google Plus Photo and Photoshop.com seem to be more simplified than Paint.NET. I am not too familiar with Paint.NET, as I am a "beginner editor." 

Pros of Paint.NET include:
  • More editing tools than most photo editing programs
  • Great for experienced photographers 
  • Free
Cons of Paint.NET include:
  • Have to download application
  • Steep learning curve
  • Most features won't be necessary for people just looking for basic simple photo editing.

The photos of my son were edited in Google Plus Photo. This program was very easy to use and pretty self-explanitory. The first photo is the original photo that came from my android phone. The second one was cropped and the coloring was enhanced in Google Plus Photo.

  1. Such an adorable picture! I love how the colors pop and it isn't the typical portrait or landscape layout. Paint.net is a pretty handy free downloadable tool too!

  2. Paint.net is (at least in our opinion) the simplest option on the list. It still comes with a ton of powerful features like layers, adjustments, and user-created plugins, but is simple enough that complete newcomers can grasp it immediately. The features are across the top, and filters are accessible from a drop-down menu.
    Some of the special effects are pretty cool: sharpen, blur, distort, emboss, etc. You can even get some Instagram-esque vintage effects in there for good measure. We don’t want to waste too much time on this one. It’s got a lot of features, an easy interface, and a simple layout. If you’re struggling with others on this list, then stick with the easiest option.
