Thing 9: Digital Images

Below is a photo of me taken with the Photobooth application on my Mac. It was uploaded to Picasa.
This is a photo of me taken with the Photobooth app on my Mac with the internal camera.
This is the photo of me after being edited at Picnik.
The photo above was cropped, resized, had the contrast and exposure altered, a drop shadow added and the HDR effect applied.  The link to my catalog of photos (such as it is) is here. I could see myself using the tools to jazz up some photos of paintings or sculpture for my philosophy class to give them some pizzazz.  Of course I would only use images that I had permission to alter.  The coolest use of photo editing software I have seen this year is from one of our social studies teachers who knows something about Photoshop and taught her kids edit a photo of themselves into an historic WWI photo.  Some of the kids are in the trenches, some are in planes, etc.  I don't know if there is an online tool that cuts layers out of a photo.
