Image Manipulation

What is "image manipulation? It is a fancy way to describe retouching photographs and/or adding filters and special effects to photographs digitally. Picnik allows students and learning managers to upload photos and basically modify them in a plethora of ways. This learning tool gives students in particular, opportunities to explore various elements of design when creating a new image from an initial image. The tool also allows students to create a new meaning from generating different tools to adjust the images attributes. This results in producing an image that is so high in quality that it is almost impossible to tell if the photo has been manipulated. I found the tool very simple to use which is a huge benefit for Learning Managers when instructing students on the tools many aspects.
