Photo Editing with FotoFlexer

Connected to the ShabbyBlogs website there is a page for tutorials. On that page I had seen a video clip about a photo editing site called FotoFlexer.

This is how I was able to create my header for my blog. I was able to choose a header design that I liked from the ShabbyBlogs website. I clicked download to save the header design to my computer. I then went onto the FotoFlexer website and straight away I found it easy to use.
 I did not have to login or create an account to use this application. Under the title 'get started' was the icon 'upload photo'. Then there were options on where to upload the photo's from for example Facebook, my computer, twitter and many more. I decided to choose the header design that I had earlier saved to my computer from the ShabbyBlogs website.

You then can see many different icons and also the image you have uploaded. In the design I had chosen for my header there was a place to put a picture. I then clicked on the icon 'layers' and I added the image that I wanted to the header design that was already there. I saw it fitting to add a photograph of myself as it was for my blog.

Once I reshaped and cropped the image to fit the header design I then wanted to add a text. There was a 'Text' icon to add a text to the design. I decided to call my blog 'Lauren's Babbles' so after I wrote the text I placed it where I wanted it on the design , chose colours and the style of writing I preferred. I then clicked transparent for the text to blend in with the design I chose. After I was happy I clicked the icon 'select all' and the layers I had uploaded e.g. my header design, photograph of myself and the text were all selected and highlighted. I then clicked the icon 'merge' and all the layers merged into one photo. I found this to be a very clever and excellent way to be creative. I then saved the photo and added it to my blog through editing my header and selecting 'add image'.

FotoFlexer is a great, creative and fun way to edit or merge images. I think this website would be ideal for teenagers and young people. Especially for people who have chosen media studies for one of their subjects in school. I'm very happy with the image I have created and I think you should give it a try! There is no fees to pay or no login requirements. There is a login button if you wished to sign up.
