Hello everyone! For class this week, we were told to create our own image on Pixlr. This was my first time ever using a photo editing site like Pixlr. For this being my first time, I actually didn’t have that many difficulties. The step-by-step video was very helpful as well. The image I made isn’t going to be used as my banner as of now because I really like the one I have picked out already, but my site is still in the early stages, so I may change my mind later on.
Choosing two pictures to go together was a bit difficult at first because I wasn’t sure what I was exactly going for or expecting to come out of merging the two together. After choosing my two desired images, I only stumbled upon a few issues. The first one was changing the dimensions to the images. The second one was using the wand tool. The picture I chose to add to the background layer was difficult to use with the wand tool because there was so much going on in one photo. After multiple tries, I decided to just use a whole other picture instead. I chose a white background with lips and since it was a very basic picture to crop out, it was way easier to use with the wand tool. After these steps, everything was pretty straight forward and I didn’t have any issues. I’m very surprised how easy this website is to use as a first-timer.
I can use this website in various ways for the future. In one of my classes, I have to make a flyer for a client and it’s useful to be able to edit images and add it to the flyer to make it pop more. Being able to navigate this site will also help me post-college in the PR world as well. I’m glad I got to learn how to use this site as I was a bit nervous to try it out in the beginning.
