Monkey Around with PicMonkey

This is a follow-on to the previous post on Where to Find Free Images.  So what do you do after finding an image?  You could use it as is, or PhotoShop it, if you own Adobe PhotoShop and know how to use it.

PicMonkey has been my easy-to-use alternative to PhotoShop.  It is free (with an option to pay for premium features), it is online (i.e. no program to download), and it is easy to use.

Here is an example of my dog Sammi processed through an iPad app called PhotoSketch and put together into a collage using PicMonkey.  I also tried the "Comic Heroes Sketch" effect in PicMonkey for a new profile photo.

PhotoSketch for sketch effects and PicMonkey for collage
PhotoSketch (an iPad app) created the sketch effects and PicMonkey created the collage
