The document summarizes an assignment where a group of students explored features of photography software PicMonkey and Snapseed. They used various tools like crop, rotate, exposure, sharpen, color, blemish fix, Orton, dusk, and frame tools on PicMonkey to edit a photo. With Snapseed, they used text and tune tools. Through this exploration, the group learned how to use different features to edit lighting, color, and other aspects of images.

16. What we learnt
■ As a group we learnt how to use a variety of feature on different software’s so that we
could gather what looks good and what doesn't.
■ We learnt how to change the colouring and lighting of an image what will become
useful to us if we want to make our image look like it was taken at night or in the dark
and will mean that our image will avoid having that ‘granny’ look about it which
photos usually have if they are taken at night.
■ We also found out which tool works the best and how much to apply of each tool.
