I just discovered PicMonkey and love it :) Any other cool image editing resources that you guys would recommend?

P.S. You can see my first attempt on today's post: A Much-Needed Financial Slap in the Face

If color or lighting is off, I well run an image through Picasa. For cropping, resizing, and saving for web, I just use gimp with the save for web plugin.

 I'm looking for editors, beta-readers, and some demographic research for my upcoming novel, Once Upon a Saturn Moon. If you like reading soft sci-fi thrillers, maybe with a touch of romance thrown in, you can find more information at http://seampublishing.com/once…..aturn-moon

I was a huge fan of Picnik before Google bought them out. For now, I just use Pixlr.com unless I have heavy duty image editing – in which case I use Photoshop at the library.

I've outsourced my image editing to a Photoshop expert – who is also known as my girlfriend. Best work I've ever seen ;)

Stephanie – the images on your post look great!  Very pinnable.  :)

I also like PicMonkey.  I got a little addicted when I first found it and even went back in time to re-create another birth announcement for my 2-year-old just to see if I could do it.  I like how you don't have to register, so as soon as you load the page, you can immediately load up a photo and start editing.

I was also a huge Picnik fan, but I think PicMonkey is just as good, if not better in some ways.  

I've used a few PicMonkey-generated images in recent posts.  A friend of mine really gets into it on her blog (she inspired me to start using it). Here are a few of mine.  I'm not as advanced as she is, but I'm getting there.

The majority of my visuals on my site are personal photos and drawings. I do photo editing and draw by hand through GIMP. Absolutely love it.
