Thing 13

I picniked a photo from my computer. This was pretty easy and I could see how this could be quite useful for reports, sales flyers, lesson plans, etc. I think to get more of the features that I was able to view on the site, you need more then the basic membership. I originally attempted to modify a pic of my son's motorcycle to eliminate all the background junk and pop the motorcycle to the front of the picture and add text. The site kept directing me to the membership page. Paying additional for for the premium. $24.95 a year may be worth the investment for an individual, but I am not sure that it would be available to an entire class at that price. A site license would not fit into our current budget if it was more then that. Individually, I thought it was awesome .... to use for a classroom, I would need to look more into the finances as things are very TIGHT now.

I changed the contrast and saturation of this picture to brighten the colors. I also used the crop feature to cut out the background, which was easy for this object as it is a rectangle. I played with all the other features to get different looks but settled on this one. Contrast, crop, and color saturation I believe were the only options I used. It was cool. I will probably try this again.
