This is a PowerPoint presentation using Picmonkey to photo edit.

1. Presentation by:
Janice Vaughn

2. The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate how to use
PicMonkey to: enrich your photographs and images for presentations,
scrapbooking, digital publishing, etc.
PicMonkey is so easy to use, even a “monkey can do it.” Just
remember, it takes patience and doing it until you get the desired
effect you want.
The following pictures are from my collection. I used
http://picmonkey.com to enrich the images.

3. Resizing or
Enlarging a
Photo/Image
Picture Before Resizing
Directions:
Resizing a photo for a larger frame can be done
using Picmonkey.
First, click on Edit, then from the choices select
where your photo/image is located; select
photo/image and your photo will appear like
the image on the right.
Next, (see before image on right) use the menu
located on the left to choose Resize.
Then, in the dialogue box change the size(s)
until you get the desired look.
Finally, click Apply and then click Save. Rename
your picture file. If you do not like the picture
effect, you can cancel and start the process
over.

5. Adding a Frame and
Changing the Background Color
You can add frames and give your picture a
different background using Picmonkey.
Directions:
First, click on Edit, then from the choices select (computer, Facebook,
e.g.) or wherever your photo/image is located; select photo and your
photo will appear like the image on the right.
Next, on the far left side click on the frame icon, you will then see
several different frames choices. Click on each frame choice to see the
effect that it has on your photo. I chose Shape Cutouts for this project.
Then, after choosing a frame you like, you can modify it using the
selections offered. Shape Cutouts offers 8 different shapes, resizing
the frame, and also an option to change the Background Color. Click
anywhere on the color chart and choose a complementary color. You
are welcome to choose another option.
Finally, click Apply and then click Save. Rename your picture file. If you
do not like the picture effect, you can cancel and redo the process
over.

You can use Rotate to have the
people in the photo switch places
and add Text using Picmonkey.

your photo/image is located; select
photo/image.
First, click on the first icon on the left and
choose Rotate under Auto Adjust. You can
play around with the rotate buttons to see
the effects that will happen to your photo. I
chose the Horizontal Double Arrow and it
switched the positions of the two people in
the photo.
Then, Apply and Save photo and rename.
Directions for Adding Text
Next, on the far-left side menu click on the
icon Tt to add Text and scroll to see the
text choices (the crown indicates a Royal
product, you have to register to use this
text). Choose your text and a text box will
appear on your photo along with a dialogue
box on the right.
Then, choose your color, font size, and
position the text on your photo.
