Our photos tell the story of our lives, and that story often looks great as an art gallery of canvas prints. But all too often those stories seem to be exactly the same. After all, you\u2019re not the first person to ever pose with their friends in a bar, or pretend to be holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa, or have a family portrait where everyone is wearing the same sweater. Sometimes we have to work with the photos we have, not the photos we want \u2013 and when planning out some home decorating using amazing canvas art, sometimes you want to spruce up those photos a little.<\/p>\n

\"Using<\/p>\n

But what do you do when you\u2019re not very computer-savvy, don\u2019t have any photo manipulation software, and wouldn\u2019t know how to use it if you did? Don\u2019t despair: The Internet has some amazing totally free tools out there that can take your blah photos and make them amazing in no time. Here\u2019s a sampling of some of the best free tools out there that require zero knowledge of photography or software to get something amazing with the press of a button.<\/p>\n

Easy Amazing Photo Tool #1: Warholize.me<\/h2>\n

Andy Warhol remains a strong pop culture reference point, and his style of pop art (think of those portraits of Marilyn Monroe in bright colours) remains distinctive and recognisable. If you have a portrait that lacks a little oomph and you think isn\u2019t really worthy of canvas printing, head on over to http:\/\/warholize.me. It\u2019s super easy to upload a photo and turn it into something remarkable with just the click of a button. And the results are super cool and super dramatic.<\/p>\n

Easy Amazing Photo Tool #2: Tilt Shifting<\/h2>\n

Tilt-shifting is a technique that plays with focus to produce photos that look like miniature toys but are of real things. Even people can be made to look like tiny figurines in a fake set by applying the technique. Professionals achieve this effect with the right focus, lens, and lighting, but it can be applied to your own photos just by surfing over to http:\/\/tiltshiftmaker.com and uploading your photos.<\/p>\n

So if you have a vacation photo of a quaint town or other scene that\u2019s just a little boring and flat, this simple, automatic process can transform that photo into something remarkable \u2013 without knowing anything at all about it.<\/p>\n

Easy Amazing Photo Tool #3: Remove Tourists from Your Canvas Prints<\/h2>\n

Tourists can be the plague of any amateur photographer. You travel to this amazing place and you think you\u2019ll take some stunning pics and then have them turned into wall art when you get home, but every shot is crammed full of people in garish outfits standing around, ruining everything (as tourists do).<\/p>\n

\"Using<\/p>\n

Never fear. Without any knowledge or software you can remove these annoying folks, just by doing 2 things: One, take multiple photos of the site from the same angle \u2013 just snap a bunch of photos as people move around you, and two, by surfing over to https:\/\/www.snapmania.com\/info\/en\/trm\/index.html.
