Fotor, the Photo Editor You Need to Know About

   I use the image editor available on Fotor all the time. I consider it to be one of the best free online editors available. It has many features and tools that were initially designed specifically for photos but has drastically expanded to be used to edit all types of images. Some of its features include multiple font options, templates for social media posts, image shapes, a library of sticker overlays, the ability to download your own images and overlays, size adjustments, cropping, lighting effects, a transparency tool, background remover, portrait retouching, filters, and so much more!

The best part of the program is that once you create an account, it is free to use forever without being limited to a trial like other online editors. The majority of these features are free for anyone to use. However, there is an option to upgrade your account to have access to everything Fotor has to offer. The simplicity of the website makes it more user-friendly than other premium editors. This is the perfect option for someone new to editing but has enough features to fit most professional’s needs.

Fotor is a Chinese company, but it supports many languages including English. This is important because there are many articles on Fotor that give users inspiration on how to utilize the software to help them achieve their goals. A very relevant example is this article that explains in detail how to use Fotor to add watermarks to images. Adding watermarks, branding, or copyright info on images is very important for all types of users.

My one complaint about Fotor is that there isn’t a tool for color grading sticker overlays. It is something that I’ve been able to utilize on other editors but Fotor doesn’t offer this type of tool. It’s something that is not common enough to be included, but anyone with experience with that type of tool knows it can drastically improve an image.

Overall, it’s a great editor that should meet the majority of people’s needs and I highly recommend it.

The Rise of Digital Games

I remember playing video games on the Nintendo 64. You would slam your favorite game cartridge into the system and turn it on. If the game didn’t immediately start all it took was a few breaths on the cartridge to remove the excess dust and start playing your game. I played many video games since then, but most consoles worked the same way. You put in the game and you are ready to play. That is not the case anymore. The first time I put a physical disc into a console and had to wait before I could play was Grand Theft Auto 5 on Xbox 360. It was a rare occasion, but one I accepted as a necessity as the game was huge compared to others of its time. Then the next generation of gaming consoles were released. The Xbox One and PS4 flooded the market and a new trend became the norm. People would buy digital versions of their games instead of purchasing a physical disc. Digital games were promoted with exclusive bonuses that weren’t available with the purchase of a physical copy of the same ...

The Fear of Failure

It has been a goal of mine for a while to start my own business. I have been putting it off for a few years now. Every time I think about it, I create dozens of excuses to convince myself that if I were to start today, I wouldn’t succeed. I’m too busy doing homework. Even if I could manage to spend one or two hours a day on my business, would that be enough time to get anything done? Should I sacrifice my effort and time to a business that statistically will fail? Those are only a few examples of dozens of excuses that run through my mind. I’ve made a few realizations through my time in college that specifically relate to businesses. Here they are: 1. You don’t have to be smart to run a successful business. A smart person will understand that its risks outweigh the rewards. However, someone with a dream won’t stop because they have failed. They will take as many risks as needed to achieve their goals. 2. It’s better to start today. You will fail and it’s better to fail early. 3...
