No, I am.....

not drunk, although you might think so if you saw some of my before photos. 



I take quite a few photos for my Etsy shop and I can't tell you how many of them come out like this. Is my head crooked? Is my balance off? 

Thank goodness for photo editing sites. I loved the old Picnik, which closed down, but now I divide my time between Picmonkey and Ribbet. I like them both, but I guess I am a bit partial to Ribbet because it is basically the same as Picnik.

First I rotate.


Then crop


Then because I have a very old point and shoot camera, I have to sharpen. Maps are not the easiest thing to photograph with a point and shoot, but the editing definitely helps. 


Finally  I add a watermark.


Not perfect, but for maps this is quick and easy for me and I can get them listed quickly. For other things I often use some of the other tools.

Do you have a favorite site for editing and if so, what are some of your favorite tools to use?
