Pixlr equals picture fun

Pixlr is one of the Web 2.0 tools that was taught in TPTE. It is basically a place to touch up your photos or just have some fun with lots of different filters and effects. Users can upload pictures from their personal files or take a picture from their webcam. You can edit your photos in two ways: Photoeditor, which is similar to photoshop, or in Retro Vintage effects, which is similar to instagram. The picture above is a picture I took on a trip to Washington D.C. It is the main building of the Smithsonian. I played around with it in the Retro Vintage tools and got the effects you see. If I could just replace the modern cars with antiques it might really be convincing as an old photo. Students and teachers can both use this tool for presentations of various types from posters to science projects.
