I edit my photos on photobucket.com. Haven't tried picmonkey though, so I can't compare, but on photobucket you can choose from lots of different effects :) I just basically try about 50 different angles and poses to see which works best :) Personally, I use Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer, and if I need a little extra coverage, Avon Colortrend Pressed Powder. To be fair, I don't have acne, though I do get the odd spot and my skin can get a bit blotchy xD

Good place to start would be www.photoshoproadmap.com. they do free tutorials on everything photoshop and photoshop elements including how to touch up photos Be careful though photoshop is highly addictive oh and if you cant get photoshop (its really expensive) there is a free programme which does exactly the same and its called Gimp, you'd just need to google it

At first I thought you were being sarcastic... Anyway the only editing I ever do on pics of me is to adjust the levels in Photoshop.

Thanks. I'll try out both and see which works best. I have some acne, not too bad anymore and I think certain background effects on pics look epic. Suck as blurring out the background, making it black & white with only the eyes in colour etc. Thanks guys. Btw, ofc I wasn't being sarcastic, why would I be? XD

Quite a few people take the piss out of 'emos' for posing and heavily editing pics.

I know I get upset at how edited a lot of those pictures are. Everything from eye and hair colour, makeup, and even body shape are totally redone in so many of those pictures. I can't stand it. I will change at most some of the lighting and perhaps clear up my skin a little. Unless I'm trying to create an effect that is obviously fantasy (like adding wings or making rainbow eyes)

Personally i wouldn't even consider it, you don't need to have a heavily edited picture to make yourself look good online. You will always be you no matter how you may want to come across to others online. It's not YOU that needs to change to make a good picture, it's the way the picture needs to be taken to make you look good. Overall - if people don't like the way you look that's that's their problem and not yours, no need to put on a fake front.
