Here are my pictures all done on Pixlr.

| Love the Kaleidoscope Filter |

| The Vignette filter makes everything look a bit more mysterious |

| The Emboss filter makes for an interesting photo. |
I did try both Pixlr and Aviary but Pixlr was by far easier to use. It's really easy to upload the picture and the tools are easy to use. Aviary on the other hand was not easy to use at all and has way too many components. I couldn't even open the Peacock portion, it just never loaded. My favorite filters were the Kaleidoscope Filter and the Emboss filter. I made the embossed picture of me my profile picture on Facebook.
This would be a helpful tool in the library for maybe improving signs that we put up and add some interesting elements to displays. The program could be a good tool for students to use for projects that require pictures, I don't know if it would get used a lot but it's a good tool to know about.
Overall it's fun to use the different filters and tools on pictures and could indeed be a useful tool for the library.
