With new technology photo editing software like Photofunia emerging all the time, the days of old-fashioned scrapbooking are long gone. No longer do we glue photos into books and decorate them with glitter and paper frames cut with special scissors. Today’s scrapbookers have the option of creating digital artwork, and they don’t need a degree in graphic design to produce professional-looking images. For those who are looking for an easy-to-use, intuitive photo editing program, Photofunia is exceptionally user-friendly and best of all, it’s free.

While most graphic designers turn to more complex and technically challenging programs like Adobe’s Photoshop, Photofunia is a good choice for the casual user who wants to produce exceptional results without spending hours studying tutorials and learning techniques for creating specific effects.

Photofunia works with a set of pre-designed templates. The themes are simple to use and create great-looking results very quickly. The Photofunia app can show users what their photo or design will look like on a 3D object like a teacup, or they can create a digital billboard or add their photo to a digital television screen. Photofunia allows many basic manipulations, like cropping a face from one photo and inserting it on another body for amusing effects.

The site is quite user-friendly. Simply select the photo you wish to edit, and Photofunia will automatically upload the image. Then select the template you want to use, and the site will integrate your photo into the image. You can do all the design on the site if you wish. It works best with a strong data connection.

Once the final design is created and delivered to the user, the photo is deleted from the Photofunia website. It is not archived like on some social networking sites, so you never have to worry about your photos appearing anywhere on the web. Simple, safe, fun and user-friendly, Photofunia is one of the best image editing tools available today to the casual user.
