#91 Fun with Photos- part 3 of 3- You ought to be in pictures






1.FotoFlexer, mentioned in the first post, has effects similar to BeFunky and BigHugeLabs. Choose a photo to edit in FotoFlexer and either BeFunky or BigHugeLabs (Cartoonizer, Warholizer, etc). Compare the two. Were the results the same? Do you have a preference?
I took a photo of the Dome and played with different effects. I liked this image the best. It was done using Stencil which gives sort of a grainy old fashioned photo look. I took the same picture and played with FotoFlexer until I found a blueprint effect. I like both of them.

2.Use one of the image generators to spiff up a profile picture. You can search Pho.to or FaceInHole for different scenarios - be creative with your search! Share your newly generated image on your blog.


Okay, so I tried all these and played with putting my head in the FaceInHole's Monet. It didn't look very good. I tried some cartoon characters like Santa and an Elf. Pho.to was not as easy to use and I never could get the zombie one to load my photo. But I did go back to BeFunky and had fun re-imaging myself. Here I am.
