I just started playing with the free version of Pixlr, a cloud-based set of image tools and utilities, including a photo editor with a direct web interface. It’s user-friendly and accessible, making it a good choice for quick edits and tasks that don’t require the depth of Photoshop. Pixlr offers both mobile and desktop versions.
There are a bunch of different effects and of course, AI tools to experiment and play with. You can see how addicting it might be, definitely a time killer, if you have the luxury of extra time, you can check it out here!
My original mixed media collage is below, and then I used the Liquify tool to swirl, twist, enlarge, and shrink, the possibilities are endless!

I tried Pixlr and I was able to change colors on a picture of a dog. However, I couldn’t use other tools that I would have liked to.
For some things it looks like one has to pay in order to use certain features
I’ll look for other AI apps when I have more time.
Thanks for sharing Tiffany and have a great week ahead!😊🤗

I just realized you can only save a few images per day for free, they always get you somehow! 😉

It brings another dimension to the work. It’s like you’ve added some passages of poured acrylics to your collage – something I’ve been meaning to try myself as I love the effects of liquid acrylics in small doses.

Thank you so much Graham! I would love to see what you come up with when you play with poured acrylics! I haven’t done that in a while, indeed lots of fun!

Tiffany. I am a writer, not a painter, but your description of how you did this piece makes me think you know what you’re doing and that what you are doing is fun.
