PicMonkey Is A Great Photo Editor

I took a “selfie” tonight with a flash since I was in a dark room.  I was merely trying to take a photo of my newly dyed hair.  But then I thought – I love this photo if I could just clean it up.

A flash can be harsh and I was getting ready for bed so the photo was an untouched photo. Normally, I use a professional photo editing service.

This is the original:

Up front I will state that none of the enhancements were major – anything I did, I also faded out quite a bit.  I didn’t want anything overwhelming.

These are the steps to the final image:

I airbrushed my skin a little to just even everything out

Added some slight color to my lips – you can barely see it but I also wanted to even it out

Used wrinkle remover to smooth out some of the spots on my face – they are tiny but I still wanted them smooth

Added mascara

Brightened my eyes

Reduced some of the shine on my cheeks, nose and chin

Added some green to my eyes

Added a dusk feature

Added shadows

Reduced contrast

Reduced brightness

Added highlights

 

Voila…

That may seem like a lot of steps but they are very quick and in some cases even under the same option.  The end result is this…

And side by side so you can see just how different.

Now I know there are paid photo editing products out there that can do so much more but PicMonkey is free.  I do have the annual version that I pay for, which isn’t much.  But I love how quickly and easily I can turn nothing into something and it is so easy to use even my kids use it all the time.

    As a photographer, I often use PicMonkey as my go-to photo editor. It’s user-friendly and has all the essential tools I need to enhance my images. From basic adjustments to more advanced features like filters and overlays, PicMonkey makes editing fast and simple. However, I also like exploring alternatives to see which tool works best for different projects.

    Hello,
    PicMonkey is good for basic edits, but for professional results, Lightroom Photo editing
    is perfect. With all features unlocked, it offers premium filters, presets, and easy-to-use tools for photos and videos. It’s really helpful for creating high quality content without any watermark or ads.
