Have you ever tried Clicking that ” I am feeling lucky ” Button instead of regular Google search?
If your answer is NO, here are few things which can save a lot of time for you:
- If you wish to go to Country specific page of any website/Company website like HP, Dell, Amazon… just type [ name ] [ country ] in Google search box and click ” I am Feeling lucky ”
For Example if you want to goto HP Australia, type “HP Australia” in google search box and click ” I am feeling lucky “. Google will dirctly open HP australia website instead of showing any search results.
- You can also reach to any Wiki article or IMDB Movie page directly from Google
type [ Wiki ] [ keyword ] Go lucky
type [ IMDB ] [ Movie Name ] Go Lucky
Photoshop Express is an Free to use ( with 2GB online storage ) online photo library, editing and sharing website. Think of it this way. You shot it - not it’s time to do something with it. You can crop, rotate, change colors, enhance, remove red eye, and even some crazy special effects like twirling and distorting. When you’re done, you can share the photos using galleries and even give people a link to go see them. Photoshop Express works with JPEG photos only—the most common format used in cameras.
Features:
Crop & Rotate—Turn it, straighten it, crop out the background.
Auto Correct—Automatic, one-click, optimal lighting and contrast adjustment.
Exposure—Change the brightness of the photo.
Red-Eye Removal—Removes red eyes caused by some camera flashes.
Touchup—Remove scratches and other imperfections.
Saturation—Ramp up the colors to blinding brightness, dampen them down to black and white, or anywhere in between.
White Balance—Ever notice how people look different inside an office with the ugly fluorescent tubes, as opposed to outside on a bright sunny day? Adjust the white balance and you change the type of lighting in the photo.
Highlight—The brightest parts of a photo are the highlights. This control lets you brighten or darken just the brightest part of the photo, without affecting the darker parts (we call those the shadows).
Fill Light—If you take a shot facing into the sun, your subject can end up too dark due to the camera’s automatic exposure adjustment. Fill Light brightens the dark area without overbrightening the background.
Sharpen—It’s like putting in your contacts. Suddenly everything comes more into focus.
Soft Focus—It’s like taking your contacts out. Soft Focus creates a subtle blur for artistic effect.
Hue—This one changes all the colors in a photo at once.
Black & White—Control how the colors are converted when you change a photo to black and white.
Tint—Imagine instead of black and white, you want red and white, or pale brown and white for that old Western look.
Sketch—Makes any photo look like you drew it yourself.
Distort—Stretch, twist, bulge specific areas of your photos.
TOO MUCH?? Don’t worry, they have fully illustrated Video Tutorials for every feature.
