Tech Tools

So, you want to erase a background from an image, but you do not have PhotoShop or one of those expensive programs.  Now, you can make any image background transparent...for FREE!  I love, love, love LunaPic.  It is an online photo editor that can do a multitude of effects and edits to you images.  I use to make my images transparent, but it can do so much more. http://www.lunapic.com

I found my banner on Cutest Blog on the Block, http://thecutestblogontheblock.com.  I love their designs!  I knew I wanted my website name on the front, so on my Mac (using Pages), I added layers.  Once I finished my design,  I took a screen shot by clicking › Command › Shift › 4 simultaneously and there you go... the final image is saved to your Desktop without having to use PhotoShop.  I wanted a transparent background (FYI—checkerboard background means transparent) so I used LunaPic!  It's not as fun-loving as Picnik was—I loved using Picnik, but since it's no longer available, LunaPic is wonderful substitute.  Check it out and have fun!
