Works For Me Wednesday: Free Photo Editing
Do you ever find yourself longing for a way to brighten up that priceless night-time photo, remove the red eye on an otherwise precious moment, or just clear away a bit of blurriness? When I need to do some quick photo editing, I like to use the free photo-editing program at Picnik. You don't even need to sign up for an account; just instantly load and fix a photo! They have a more advanced account option, with more bells and whistles, but it's still cheaper than purchasing Photoshop. It's definitely handy for getting those photos e-mailed to the grandparents before your kid has another growth spurt.
I also like that I can convert large .jpg files into the quicker-loading .gif format. This is great for quickly popping a photo up on your blog. (Some aspects of the "Simple Living" button on my blog were made with Picnik.)

I love Picnik. I own Photo Shop Elements, but I rarely use it. Picnik is so much quicker, easier & user friendly to me. :)

You have convinced me to try Picnik. I am often searching for a quick and easy way to "turn" my photos right-side-up before posting to the blog, and I bet this will be a big help. Thanks!
I like the idea of converting to a .gif. I've never thought of doing that before. We've always been very happy with what we can do for free at Picasa, but I don't think the conversion is one of the things they offer. We'll have to look into it.
