Quite a few of the pictures here are run through a Photoshop wringer before they get uploaded.  Most of the time it’s just cropping something, or making adjustments to try to make up for my crappy picture taking.  Now there’s a great website out there that has all the basic functionality of Photoshop.  It’s free.  And you don’t need to install anything, so you can use it on any computer with internet access.

Here’s a quick example of some editing that took just a couple minutes.

First pick the image you want to edit.  You can either load a picture off your hard drive, or use the URL of any image on the web.  I used a picture from my Picasa gallery, but you could also use an image you found in a Google image search as well.

You can easily crop images, or adjust levels to make up for bad lighting.

While not as powerful as Photoshop by any means, there are a few more advanced tools you can have fun with!

So there ya go.  Head over to the site and piddle around with it, and have some fun!
