How To Get Funky Photos With BeFunky!

 
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.
                                                                Rusty  Truck by Printscapes
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
Kimberly

  2. Papa 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 !
