Adding Text to Photos Edited
So you've downloaded your photos to your online photo editing site and now you want to add some text to those photos? Is it easy to do? Sure! Most online photo sharing communities have a tool especially made for editing photos with text. It is pretty basic. First, you select the photo you wish to add the text to, then you type in the text you wish to add to the photo in the designated space (the site will guide you through this). Be sure to pick the size of the text, the type of font and the color you want. Once you have done that, simply select "done" or "finished" and you should have text on your photo!
Editing a photo with text is a very easy thing to do. Keep in mind that you must follow the specific directions of the online photo sharing site you are using. Every site will have different wording or directions on how to do this, and most sites keep it to very basic directions. It is always fun to play with the wording, the color and the font when editing your photos!
Online Photo Editing For Kids
Many kids want in on the online photo editing action and quite frankly, who can blame them? It's fun to create new pictures or mess around with existing pictures by adding or removing different things. Shouldn't kids have a site of their own where they can play with digital pictures?
There may not be a plethora of sites just for kids to edit pictures, but there is a tool for teachers to help students learn just how to do this! Adobe Digital Kids Club offers lessons and curriculum for teachers (or parents who wish to do this at home) to teach students about digital cameras and photo sharing. The club is geared for students in third through ninth grades and is a self-paced curriculum that is explained in easy terms.
Within this curriculum is one section to be taught about photo editing and the related techniques. Kids can learn how to edit photos, maybe before the adults in their lives even fully understand the process.
If this is something that interests you, an Internet search for Adobe Digital Kids Club will bring you the results you are looking for. The best part: you have many lessons available to you for free through the Adobe site. However, you will need some of the Adobe software installed on your computer to teach about the features.
Photo Resizer
Another cool feature that exists in many of the online photo editing sites is the ability to resize your photos! Yes, you can make a photo you snapped with your beloved digital camera either larger or smaller, depending on your need.
Most photo resizers are pretty basic. You simply pick the online photo resizer you wish to use, pick your picture and download it from wherever you have it stored. Then, simply pick the size you want the picture to be and then follow the directions from there.
You can even rotate the image, in addition to making it smaller or larger. There are even sites on the Internet that allow you to download and resize a photo without having to join a photo sharing community.
Fun Photo Editing
Are you looking for some ideas to make your photo editing a little more fun?
Are you interested in taking your photos and making a movie with them? Consider a photo movie creator. Many online photo sharing sites offer photo movie creators. You may have to pay a fee for this special feature, but it can be so fun to do! You choose your photos and your background music and you have yourself a photo movie!
Maybe you want to make some customized digital video clips with your pictures. Look into an online photo editing site that allows you to do this. Some sites let you add 3-D words and graphics to your photos.

Remember, most of these cool features will cost you money, but it can be well worth it to create such cool photos!
File Type Conversion
Many online photo editing sites allow you to convert the file type of your photo to another.
For example, if you download a picture as a GIF file, most online editing programs will save that picture automatically as a JPG or a PNG, but it will then allow you to change the format once the file is saved. You can use the pull down menu and save the picture in the format of your choice.
Free Online Photo Editing
Photo sharing sites often offer free online photo editing. To do this, you will have to choose a photo sharing Web site and then join it. To join, register some information about yourself. Once you have registered, you can take advantage of what the photo sharing Web site has to offer for editing your photos online.
Many online photo sharing sites let you edit photos directly from the tools available on their Web site, others may have you download a tool from the site. Regardless of how you do it, you can edit your photos online for free. You should be able to do things such as crop, resize, rotate, flip, correct color, reduce the size of the file and play with the dimensions of the photo.
There are so many photo sharing Web sites out there that offer this tool, you can do a simple search on a search engine to see which one may be right for you!
