We've all been there before... you take tons of snapshots at your family gatherings and events, or maybe you snapped a perfect picture of your little one in their First Day of School outfit.  But then, you upload the photo to your computer, and it just looks lackluster.  How do professionals make their photos look so darn good?

Any pro photographer will tell you that there are 3 basic edits that every photo needs, no matter how well it was taken.

1. Crop
2. Contrast
3. Saturation

These 3 simple edits are the keys to turning your photos from everyday snapshots to wall-worthy keepsakes.  You don't even need a special computer software or skill set to use them, either!  This tutorial will show you a few simple edits you can make right from your computer browser using Picmonkey.  Picmonkey is a free online program for image editing.  They do offer a special paid program called Royale, but this tutorial will just cover the simple edits you can do with a free account.
