Edit images -Make it easy

Well these tips are for beginners..OK?? To those who doesn’t know anything about image editing


How to censor/pixelate


If there are part of an image or something which you dont want others to see, you can pixelate them. For best understanding, it is to censor the image. Select the part of the image with the Lasso Tool (Shortcut key = Shift +L). After selecting the area, go to Filter in the menu bar and then to Pixelate, select Mosaic. You will get a new dialogue box where you can specify your own cell size. Your changes are previewed automatically and you’ll know when to press OK. (Normally enter 8-12 for small sized images). Please make sure your preview window is checked


How to invert the colour of a pic


You will find various inverted pictures on the net, which do look good when inverted। To see the original colour or to invert the colour of the picture, the easiest way is to open the picture with MSPaint or Adobe Photoshop. Press Ctrl+i and you’ll see the magic.

Rotate and Flip

To rotate a picture, follow the steps. Click Image on the menu bar > Rotate Canvas > you can choose whatever you like. Arbitrary means you can specify your own degree for the image to rotate. You can also flip the picture vertically or horizontally. Check it out by selecting Flip Horizontally or Flip Vertically.

To change the size of a picture


Many pictures comes with large size, for eg. 3000×2500 pixels. This will take a long time to open/load esp on the net. To change the size of the image, open the big-sized image with Adobe Photoshop. On the menu bar select Image, then Image Size. You’ll get a dialogue box where you can enter your own specifications. Please make sure that Constrain Proportion is checked, otherwise you’ll get a horrible figure. For eg, enter 600 in the width box, you dont have to manually enter the height. And make sure your measurements are in terms of pixels, which is easiest to understand. After you enter the size, press OK. Your picture is small now!!
