PicMonkey, The Free and Simple Photoshop Website

At Fitbloggin I learned about a site called PicMonkey. The site was suggested for editing photos. Although I have photoshop on my computer, I am not an expert and it’s time consuming to get the edits right. I decided to try it out last night while watching a terribly officiated football game.

What did I discover? Not only can PicMonkey ruin your self-esteem but also show you what 100k in plastic surgery might do! Yes, you can leave the “weight loss” and “nip tuck” tool unused, but I of course was curious how similar the tools were to those available in Photoshop.

This morning, I woke up and was eager to try one of the new products I brought home from ExpoEast or FitBloggin. I went with the Erewhon Supergrains Buckwheat and Hemp cereal from the conference with freeze-dried strawberries I snagged at the Expo.

I used PicMonkey to edit both photos since the light was really dark in my apartment. PicMonkey is amazing for editing shots of food and the number of effects is astounding given the site is free to use at first!

As far as the cereal goes, I liked the taste. The texture stayed crunchy even after sitting my almond milk for a little bit. The box also suggests grinding up the cereal and using as an alternate to breadcrumbs. It’s gluten-free so I thought that was a fun idea if you follow a g-free diet. It was a little tough to chew on my teeth but other than that, it was great.

Photoshop creates a much more aesthetically pleasing image but I think that people should be upfront about images that are in fact photoshopped. In a video a few years ago, I suggested putting a label on all photoshopped images in the glossy magazines. It obviously never would be passed but I still think knowledge is lacking when it comes to awareness of Photoshop.

If your own photoshopped image can make you feel bad about your appearance, it’s scary to think about the effects of the millions of images we’ve seen over the course of our lives…

    You’re stunning without photo shop but I can definitely see how that site could be hard on the self esteem!

      I didn’t notice that haha. That was probably a result of the one click nose job I tested, lol.

    Natural is always best—you look great! The more I blog, the more I’m working on being less vain about my photos. Instead of taking a gazillion shots that hit me at just the perfect angle, I’ll take a few (ok, sometimes 5 or 6!) and choose the best of the bunch. I do have a confession though. One time I touched up a photo of myself to make my hair look a little thicker. My thinning hair at my scalp is a sensitive subject for me, but after I did it, I felt a little guilty and decided not to sweat the small stuff so much!

    Hey Sarah,

    Have you ever tried the ProtiDiet Pancakes? I’m just came across them while I was searching for pre-workout breakfasts. They seem quick to prepare, but I have no idea if they’re good. Thanks!

    I thought the Erewhon Supergrains cereal was pretty good considering it’s made of buckwheat and is gluten-free…but I admittedly had to mix it with cinnamon toast crunch for it to taste good 🙂
