Playing Around with Pictures

I'm trying out a new (to me) image converter for playing around with photos.

I've never used an image converter before so I'm really treading in deep water---without a lifesaver. But then, I do tend to make things more difficult than they really are. Especially when technology is involved.

The main benefit of the Pearl Mountain Image Converter is that you can re-format your photos to Jpeg, Bmp, Png, Pdf, Tga, Tiff, Gif, Psd, Pcx and Ico. Whatever those are.

Remember, I am very technology challenged. Very being the key word.

But I do know that there are photo contest websites that require your photos to be a certain size if they are chosen. Before Pearl Mountain- I couldn't change the size of my photos.

One of my photos was chosen to be featured in Mother Earth News (remember this magazine? STILL around!) and I couldn't re-size it. So- no photo in Mother Earth News. Dang it.

Also with Pearl Mountain--
  • You can re-format you photos
  • You can make corrections but only in color and brightness; sharpness; contrast
  • You can change you color photo to grayscale
  • You can crop
  • You can add a border
 The thing I like BEST (besides re-sizing) is that you can put a watermark on your photo.

It probably does even more and I just don't realize it--being all technology challenged and all it takes me a bit more time to play around with these things than most people.

Here's the thing. Pearl Mountain has given me 20 FREE CODES to GIVEAWAY!

It's really easy- the first 20 people who email me--momaloft4(at)gmail(dot)com--that they would like to try out the Pearl Mountain Image Converter will get a code! Simple as that! 

Have a great weekend everyone!

  5. Sounds like you're having fun playing around with the new software. I just use picasa for all those things you mentioned, except the watermark.
    Since my camera is not the best any more ( and my pics were all stolen with my laptop) my interest for photography has dwindled some...

  6. I have photoshop, photoshop for dummies and all my instructions on iPhoto ..I still haven't learned how to do a darn thing!

  7. Sounds good, but as long as my truly vintage PaintShopPro7 keeps working, I'm good. BUT, how about doing a post on Google+. I've been avoiding it. Can you tell me why I should join? And will it make my Blogger dashboard go away? Remember, I'm rigid and inflexible and I want to stay that way! ;-)
