Photo Tip - Online Photo Editing
OK, I know it is black and white and there is nothing wrong with your monitor. The picture would have looked better in color but I had my camera in black and white mode, but that isn’t the point of this post. I discovered a web site a couple of weeks ago when I was trying to help my daughter.
I had been editing the photos that she is sending from Europe, so she can share them with family and friends through Flickr. The little girl really gets how to take a picture they are gorgeous and many of them don’t need any tweaking. She has no photo editing software or any way of getting a program or loading one on her computer and making it work.
I found a way for her to edit her photos online using: www.picnik.com. I like the site so much I started using it myself. It is free and the photo editing software is very easy to use. Pictures can be cropped, resized, lightened, darkened, and more. The site has the basic capabilities found in expensive photo editing software. I took a picture and edited it in photo shop elements and then took the same photo and used picnik to edit it, the end result was identical.
Picnik has a nice interface with Flickr . Pictures can be taken directly from Flickr, edited and put back in place or saved as a new photo.
Hope she doesn’t mind that I borrowed one of her photos of Sète, near Montpellier France. It did not need editing.
The black and white photo was edited with picnik, which was also used to add the frame and the signature. When I see the photos in this post I am reminded of what my daughter gets to look at and take pictures of and what I get to look at and take pictures of. Oh well at least one of us is having fun.
