FotoFlexer On-Line Image Editor and Other Great Photo/Video Tools

Pixlr
I have used this photo editor to good effect, adding a tonal filter to my photo, and downloading the photo in its full size, without having to open an account. So far, it is free and easy to use. I hope that doesn't change! I noticed that it has tools for cropping and some other tools I haven't tried yet. It all looks great!

LunaPic
LunaPic: This might be an excellent free tool. It provides the ability to rotate by degrees instead of just standard right angles. Has social-media share features. I didn't even have to log in to repair and save my image! Criticism: the default "Save" was in GIF format. However, you can change the format by using the file tools (save as jpeg).

FotoFlexer

Great on-line image editor: I tried this and was able to do some nice, simple effects to fix a mediocre photo. It is less gimmicky than some of the other on-line tools and has some nice effects, such as "retro" and "cross process." It also has some standard portrait filters. Nice tool! I didn't have to set up an account or log in. The site gives you some options to share with Facebook, Flickr, PhotoBucket, and other sites.

Fotor
Not recommended unless with premium account, and I haven't tried that. Has decent tools and I used it a time or two with good results; however, they've started adding a big, fat watermark over the whole picture, and you can't get rid of it without going premium. When I was using it, I did have difficulty finding a brush or clone tool small enough to be useful--could not do detailed work with the big brush!

Saving JPEG without loss

JPEG is a lossy format.

If you open, edit, and save a JPEG, it loses a little quality each time.

• Every time you use the "save as" function, the JPEG quality degrades slightly.

• You may save a jpeg many times w/in a single editing session without loss.

• For editing, work in TIFF, BMP, or PNG format.

• For long-term hard-drive storage, keep a TIFF, BMP, or PNG copy.

• You may copy/paste the file icon to duplicate a JPEG file without loss.

If you must save the file many times, save it in another format ~ BMP, TIFF, PNG ~ for the intermediate sessions. Only save it as a JPEG for the final edit.

Improving Resolution and Enlarging Image (PhotoShop):

First change resolution, then enlarge. Uncheck 'resample' and change resolution (suggested: 300 res). Save and close. Re-open file and change size. You can enlarge up to a point, but watch for degradation of image. Zoom in and look everything over. Print a copy to test it.

To determine high-resolution PRINT SIZE:

Take the required print dimension in inches and multiply by 300 to get the necessary pixel dimension.

Example to find necessary pixel width:

 If  10" x 8" print size is needed: 10" x 300 = 3000px width needed.

• If 5" x 7" print size is needed: 5" x 300 = 1500px width needed.
• An image file with a pixel width of 400px will produce a tiny print of about 1.3 inches.
• An image file with a pixel width of 2100px will produce a 7" wide print.

 Likewise, divide pixel width by 300 to figure out high-res print size:

• 3000px divided by 300 = 10" wide print (at high res).
