Phixr


Today you'll choose a photo of a person that you admire off of the internet.  It (of course) needs to be school appropriate.  You will alter it using phixr.com.  You need to be logged in to your student server in order to save your work in the drop box.  

To change your photo into a high contrast black and white photo:

·       Click on the sharpen tool and then click the unsharp mask button
·       Click on the color effects tool, and on the pull-down click on “two color” and you can play around with the contrast and brightness until you get something that you like. (Mine were brightness=109 and contrast=7) then hit execute
