Using+Photos

=Using Photos =

A camera is probably your most used ICT tool, with good reason. A picture is, indeed, worth a hundred words!

Digital cameras have given us the ability to take any number of imagesand publish them quickly.

Make sure you are also making the most of your images with an efficient editing tool. Too many unprocessed photos is also the quickest way to fill up your server capacity.

One of the best and most accessible tools is already in your computer - Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Use it to:
 * crop photos to improve the image
 * compress photos so that they are easier to store and easier to upload onto blogs and wikis
 * autocorrect
 * recolour

A powerful, and free, photo editing programme is Picasa. //Picasa// is a software download from Google that helps you organize, edit, and share your photos. It's free, and easy to use. =Some other free Web 2.0 tools you will use: =
