Reflection:

I really liked using Pcnik. It was very easy to get started and very user friendly. I played around with different effects until I got out of the image what I wanted to. It was very easy to add text onto the photo, which I really liked because it's very useful for presentations and I much prefer the look of a slide with the whole image there, with text on that rather than an image separate from text. You were also able to change the transparency of the text to stand out or blend in. In the second image, I tried a couple different sites; however, I found them to be mostly too complex for me. This is partly because I am very new to photo editing and do not completely understand all of the different effects you could use. In the end I stuck with Sumo Paint. This is because I played around with it for a few minutes and stumbled onto some effects that I really liked. So, I got there in the end, but I have no idea how I got there. This site looks like it had far more options than Pcnik, so it has the potential for more complex image editing results. This, however, is not always necessary and Pcnik is a great quick option.
