Images add an element of interest to almost anything we create, but sometimes, the images we find are not quite right. Below are a couple image editing tools you can use to crop, filter, resize, etc.
Pixlr Editor (https://pixlr.com/editor/)
- This free online photo editor offers editing tools similar to Photoshop. It works great on a Chromebook too.
- Features range from simple cropping and sharpening to creating composite images, adding layers, combining several images, adding text, digital painting, etc.
Pixlr Express (https://pixlr.com/express/)
- This is another free Pixlr product, but this one allows you to create simple collages of images. This works great on the Chromebook as well.
- Choose a layout, add images, adjust and create!
Google Slides & Docs
- Google Slides and Docs offers some nice built-in photo editing options.
- Toolbar options allow you to crop and rotate.
- Click the image options button to recolor and adjust transparency, brightness and contrast.
Bonus: a simple way to add text to an image
- Add an image to a Google Slide.
- Add a textbook over the image.
- Take a screenshot of your new image.
