What are the basic photo editing tools?
Enhancing the color, tints and saturation of an images, eradicating the unwanted features of the pictures, getting rid of marks, stains, and imperfections, and enhancing old pictures are just few of the many basic purposes of photo editor software. Each editing tool gives a distinct feature to enhance every part of the picture. A lot of the photo editor programs have six parts so as to allow you to edit the photos easily such as slice and crop, selection, drawing, retouching, measuring, navigation and annotation and painting.
What are the functions of each tool?
Selection
With the use of the selection tool, you can separate the part of the image that you want to improve or edit without making any changes to its surrounding images. The selection tool has four selections to choose from namely Move, Quick Selection, Lasso and Marquee to permit you to put aside the part of the picture you want to edit as an oval, circle, rectangle or square.
Crop and Slice Tool
If you want to alter the dimensions of the picture, then you can use this crop and slice tool. You can now remove a part of a photo by using the crop feature and slice a part of the photo by means of the slice feature. Read more about add watermark on photo.
Retouching
If you are considering to remove a portion of the photo even if you have a great shot, of if you want to adjust the lighting, you can make use of the retouching tools. Clone stamps, dodge tools, eraser, spot healing blurs, and brushes are the tools that make up the retouching feature box. These tools also allow you to modify tonal problems and red eye.
Painting
By means of using brush, history brush as well as gradient tools you can customize the colors of the photos. By means of painting tools, you are able to alter the colors of a photo.

SumoPaint
ReplyDeleteSumoPaint is another free online and desktop photo editor with basic and advanced features. You can upload a photo from your computer or from a URL.
Basic overall photo editing like brightness/contrast, hue/saturation, color balance, and levels can be achieved from the menu bar on top of the editor.
The left pane has the drawing tools which include several shapes. One, in particular, is called the Symmetry tool, which “mirrors” a shape’s stroke, creating a symmetric pattern.
Besides tweaking images, I find Sumopaint to be useful in creating simple logos using the text and brush tools.
Other than the ads that appear on both sides of the web editor and intermittently crash Chrome (the tool uses Flash to run the web version), this photo editor gets the job done easily and is more than suitable for users who are not photo editing experts.

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.
ReplyDeleteSome 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.
