Friends, have you ever used the photo editing program BeFunky?
Well, if you haven't you don't know what you are missing!
But I must warn you right now it might become addictive to you.
Yes, it is that much fun.
Well, if you haven't you don't know what you are missing!
But I must warn you right now it might become addictive to you.
Yes, it is that much fun.
To use as an example I chose a favourite photo of an rusty and deserted truck.
This is the original photo.
Now this is when the fun begins.
On the BeFunky site you will be instructed to upload a picture.
I chose the one from 'my computer.'
Next I chose the 3rd option on the left side-bar that looks like a paint brush.
Then I scrolled down to the Impressionist option.
I clicked on this and watched as my photograph turned into what looks like an impressionist painting.
This was produced by using the second option on the side-bar and then choosing the 'Viewfinder' option.
Again I clicked on the second option on the left side-bar.
Then chose 'Old Photo.'
This does definitely look aged doesn't it?
I can just imagine this old photo being found in a old wallet were it received many years of wear and tear.
This was also the second option on the sidebar, then 'Vintage Colours.'
I love how this photo editing turned out!
Now tell me which photo you like best?
Maybe you just prefer the original one.
My favourite is the 'Impressionist' version.

I do want to say that I am in no way receiving any sort of compensation from BeFunky for promoting this site.
In all fairness I use PicMonkey more for my photo editing than I do BeFunky.
If you would really like more detailed instructions in photo editing, my friend Dawn at Creative Cain Cabin has launched a new web site with wonderful step by step tutorials.
I know I've learned a lot from them already.
Hope you all have a blessed weekend

It's always fun to experiment with different effects in photo editing programs.
ReplyDeletePapa and I love to play around sometimes with our photos in photo shop or lightroom . Did you know that taking your photos in raw makes for better adjustments then using a JPEG as taking in raw mode is like taking in a negative and the photos take on adjusting better . I do like the original and the painted looking one very nice . Thanks for sharing . Have fun and have a good weekend !
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of that before, I use a similar technique in Lightoom. Love the pics.
ReplyDeleteI love finding new places to play! Thanks for sharing, Kimberly!
ReplyDeleteI need to learn something new so going to try this out
ReplyDeleteThanks
I like the original and viewfinder. But then I always like a lot of color. Thanks for showing us what the program can do.
ReplyDeleteWow what a great photo!! and I like the options you chose on your photo editor, too.

I'ven used it, but probably not in a year or two... I generally go for Picmonkey with most of my editing needs... but your photos look fab!
ReplyDeleteI use it all the time. There are many free photo editing programs out there and they do make it fun to use. xo Linda
