How to Edit Photos on a Computer for Kids

Video Transcript

"In this clip I'm going to show you a couple of programs that your child can use to manipulate the pictures they've taken or that you've taken and a great way for them to view them and make little projects with their pictures. This could be fun for them just to do at home or they can actually use this for maybe a school project. The first program I'm going to show you is paint. I have a shortcut here on my desktop, so I'm just going to double click and then we go to file and open and I'm going to find a picture that we've taken. Now this is really big in here so we can go to image and stretch and skew and I'm going to bring this down to about 45% and that's going to make it, it should make it a manageable size. It's still a little large, so we're going to make it a little smaller. Now, if I wanted to type on this picture, I can draw a text box and type and I can paint around this and dress this any way I want. Kids have a great time manipulating and playing with their pictures in this program. The next program I'm going to show you is PowerPoint, this is a Microsoft program. We're going to go with a blank presentation and we're just going to click this type of slide here. I'm going to go ahead and leave that text box cause I think I'm going to type in it, but I'm going to delete this one. We go to insert, picture from our file and again it's going to pull my pictures. I'm going to pick up this picture here and then here, we've got that and then we can add subtitles to this, we can add other pictures to go with it. This is a great program to make a presentation with."
