photo filters on the internet
Hi guy's, I might have a strange question. Please note that i'm not a professional photographer like the most of you. I love to make pictures of daily things. Like a beautiful car.. or a man painting his house, or a cat chasing a mouse. Things like that. Personally i don't have photoshop. And i like to edit my pictures with filters on online filterwebsites. Don't get mad, i just like to do that The thing is.. The programs i know, make the resolution of the image lower. And that really sucks. So i was hoping sobody here, know's a website/program which doesn't put the resolution lower? (i'm not buying, so it must be for free) If you do know, please tell me here, or send me a pm? You would help me a lot! https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/36949914 Sep 18 14 04:35 am Link Google Paint Shop Pro. There are usually older versions completely free, and more recent versions with free trials. Sep 18 14 04:43 am Link Gimp or Picasa might fulfill your needs. Sep 18 14 04:48 am Link I have Gimp, but i would like to have more premade filters. Stuff like you can find on the internet, if you know what i mean. Is Picassa of Google paint shop more like that? Sep 18 14 05:09 am Link I think it's imposible to find... I found one thats quite good. Easily add filters to it online, but still it crops the resolution (a bit) but still.. sh*t Sep 18 14 07:28 am Link Your best bet would be to get a copy of Photoshop Elements. It's not free like GIMP is, but it's given out like candy - older version are almost free. Elements has a feature called 'actions', which is a predetermined set of adjustments - just what you want. GIMP has this too I believe, but it's easier to find good-quality, premade actions for Elements. You could also look into OnOne's Perfect Photo Effects suite. Those are great actions, and usually cost real money - but if you keep checking the site, eventually you should be able to get them for free. It seems like they offer the actions as a free download a couple months before the new versions come out. Or, at least they did for the last few versions. Lastly, you could buy a used Wacom tablet. Assuming it's sold with the software, it should come with Elements and a basic version of OnOne's software, or something comparable. Plus hey, you get a tablet. The stuff that's always free always comes with drawbacks. The actions reduce your resolution, and GIMP doesn't like RAW files at full bit depth. Good luck!

Very easy to use and doesn't change the resolution or size of your photos. http://www.pentacom.jp/pentacom/toycamera_analogcolor/ Sep 19 14 11:45 pm Link |
