Peacock+Toucan

==**Aviary's Color Image Editing Programs** == ====Jacob Lezberg and Sam Capeless ====

===**Toucan (Color Editor)** === Toucan is Aviary’s color swatch editor. That is a fancier way of saying it lets you line up colors in a row. Toucan consists of four drop-down menus and a detailed hue and saturation menu. The drop downs are a color wheel, clipboard/palette, an image picker, which pixelates an image that you upload to allow you to select colors from it, and a color deficiency program. You can export it to Phoenix as a backdrop of colors or use the color swatches.

You can get to Toucan by going into GMail and hitting the "More" drop-down. Click the "Aviary" link. From there it is the option on the bottom right called "edit colors." It is quicker to just go straight to Aviary.com and click on Toucan. However, Aviary sometimes has trouble signing in and so far I have always had to use the first option.  A quick “creation” - A basic tutorial- media type="custom" key="8115146"  I put creation in quotes because this program is worthless. Once you get the hang of the controls, you realize that this program does not do anything! The only good thing is the color deficiency menu, which shows what the colors would look like if you had a visual impairment.Toucan does not do anything worthwhile. ===== ===**Peacock (Image Editor)** === Peacock is used to edit images by adding effects and filters. You can change the colors of your picture, or you could also add cool effects like glow, dither, invert, or color matrix. To use Peacock sign in to your Google account, go to mail, and click more. Aviary should show up under your “more,” click and go to create filters. I thought overall that Peacock was not very easy to use, but if you are patient you can learn how to do some really cool things. I think that there are definitely way better image editors out there but since it is free I would recommend Peacock.
