Tips & Warnings
While you can do virtually anything with your image, try to keep Facebooks Terms of Use in mind when making your edits. Also consider what your friends viewing the picture might say before you get carried away.
Virtually any image editing software will do, but those with support for layers, blending and other functions will likely work better to bring you optimal results. Many commercially available editors support these features, as does the free-to-use GIMP.
