I did love Picasa when it was a part of my PC world. Having been gifted with a Mac I take more time exploring the Mac photo editing possibilities. But I do love Picasa and here is an example of some fun collaging that you can do with it.
I have yet to update to Photoshop CS4 since my PC crashed and I am now a huge fan of Mac. In the meantime I've found a rudimentary and free online tool to help me satisfy my need to blend images. Try Lunapic.
I am always looking for different editing tools that I can make use of while working with my digital photos, scans, and mixed media collages. This blog is basically a resource for those who like to create and who have a habit of thinking visually. Each post is illustrated with various effects achieved using assist from online editors, mostly available for free! Just click on links, which are keywords highlighted in each post description, and you will be directed to entertaining online photo manipulation sites. I am using my own copyrighted photos and original art to demonstrate the effects suggested in this blog.
I am always contemplating ideas for art educational experiences for elementary level students, young adults and the elderly. So in addition to my personal art focus I would like to, on occasion, share with you some ideas and art projects related to teaching.
