First, let me define what image manipulation is. It is a fancy way of adding filters and effects on photos digitally. Ooops, don’t mistaken it with photo editing. The latter is just retouching an image for minor defects although this can also be done by an image manipulation program like Adobe Photoshop. If you don’t have the money to buy, you can use an open source program called GIMP which has most most of the features of Photoshop if not all and is available for download at gimp.org. So much for those.
If there’s something that can make image manipulation easier and instantly without having to pay or download and install a software, then I’ll go for it. Luckily, there is. I mean, there are. And they’re available online like photofunia.com. Earlier, I was browsing the photos of my friendster friends and as usual the shots are poses for a fashion magazine. I actually viewed the photos last year but to my desire of finding out how to make those magazine style photo effects, I viewed them again and then I found the word photo funia on the picture. And that’s it. I tried to type in photofunia.com in my browser’s address bar hoping that it existed. It did (as I told).
I uploaded some of my pictures and played on them. Here are some of the results of the wonders of the site’s technology (please be patient while the images load):
