Suitability of Software


Suitability of Software

The software package that I used to edit my photos was a online program called “Pic Monkey” I believe that this program was very suitable as it had all the necessary tools required to edit, crop, rotate and do many other actions as well. I chose Pic monkey as it had a very user friendly interface and was very easy to learn how to use all the tools and how to navigate around all the different sections of the webpage. As this software package was free to use there where some features you could not use if you did not purchase a premium account which could have been useful in the editing of my photos as there where many more filters and layers with a premium account.   

 

File Formats

Once I had scanned my images on the scanner and saved them onto my hard drive I save them as PNG format as the image is at a good quality when saved at this format. When I took this image into Pic monkey and was finished editing it I saved it as JPEG format as I believe this is the best quality to save an image on for webpages such as my blog. Saving the picture in this format increased the size greatly which means it will be slower to load on webpages but it will be to a greater quality than saving it as a PNG format.

 

Image Resolution and Colour Depth

In Pic monkey I believe that the resolution is to a good quality although there is only three different options on which to save your image as. In other programs such as photo shop CS5 there is more of a variety as you can chose your own resolution. The higher resolution you chose in pic monkey increases the size of the image but also increases the size of the file which can mean it is longer to upload/ view on websites and blogs. I saved all three of my images at the highest resolution and quality which has given the images great colour depth which makes them look very realistic. With the colour depth being so great it has helped to blend one image into another as it links in well. The variety of colours in Pic monkey really helps the images have great coloured text over each image.

 

Conclusion

When we began to take photos and scan photos I didn’t think that the two photos when put together would look realistic and fluid. After doing a bit of editing with both photos I discover that the two images together blend in very well and have turned out to look like a very realistic images. This is because of the use of the cropping tool and being able to take out any bits of the image that doesn’t blend in. Also the use of filters help to make the whole image look like one image. In conclusion I believe that all three of my photos have turned out to be at a high quality and I am very happy with them.
