Shutterfly looking to buy Kodak Gallery

Posted in Labels: ,

 

I just wrote about Kodak Gallery (online photo service that allows you to upload, share, and view your photos from anywhere) and now it looks like they are going to be bought out by Shutterfly. Kodak Gallery had just announced their mobile apps too.

Shutterfly is an online photo service and social sharing network that allows unlimited images at no cost and at full resolution. Photo Books are their flagship product, which allows people to create photo books with covers, templates and designs.

The sale is not final, so we'll see what happens.


On a side note, Kodak Gallery is accessible from school, Shutterfly is blocked as a "shopping site." Thank goodness for 3G on my Chromebook so I could check out Shutterfly.

Two Free Graphic creation and editing software

Posted in Labels: , ,




There are two free programs that I think are great for editing and creating graphics.



The first is paint.net. This software was originally created as a school project and is now continually being modified and improved. It is a great tool for editing photos and graphics. I found it to be very polished and powerful. There are tutorials, a user forum, and a great help section available also. I use this for editing graphics for school projects and for this blog. 



Tuxpaint is a great drawing program, especially for the lower grades. It is easy to use and has a lot of built in functions.

I use paint.net to edit photos and graphics that I then use in my classroom. I've used Tux Paint to create some simple graphics for my lessons.

GIMP - free photo and graphics editing software

Posted in Labels: , , ,


GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a free, downloadable, image editing program. GIMP is always been highly rated by various tech magazines and I use it at school and at home as an alternative to other software.

It is free, easy to use and easy to install. There is also a huge support community for it and the software is updated and improved often.

This is a great alternative to paid apps like Photoshop.While not as powerful or as useful for professional photographers, it is very powerful and it is more than adequate for teachers and students. Students and teachers can use this to modify pictures for class projects and much more. It supports layers, as well as a variety of editing and modification functions.
