Photo Editing Online

Have you guys heard of www.picnik.com
It's an online photo editing thing. A lot of stuff is free. You can upload your image and then do basic stuff like resizing and cropping and exposure stuff. If you pay $2.09 a month you can do more advanced stuff like curves. It's super easy to use.
Obviously it's not photoshop, and I would never give up my photoshop, but it is handy if you want to resize something for the web and you aren't at home (I know a lot of us have office jobs).

I had a picture of my daughter's Barbie cake handy (you know the kind where you stick the real doll in a cake dress) so I played with it. You can try the advanced features, but you can't save the image unless you are a premium member, the blemish and clone tools are pretty good, although Barbie has perfect skin... so I removed her eyebrows. Barbie looks like a freak without her eyebrows!

Never heard of it. I'll have to try it.

Can you edit your post so that the question mark isn't part of the link? Smiley

You made me laugh about Barbie without eyebrows. I am using a picture of Taylor Swift without eyebrows as an alien creature on a role play I do online. Grin

Whoops, didn't notice the question mark. It's fixed.
Guess you can't punctuate right after a web address. Oh well, since when did proper grammar/punctuation/spelling matter online anyway?

A question mark in a URL means something specific, although usually a trailing question mark with nothing after it doesn't actually change anything.

We have a few teachers that tried to use it at school.  Turns out it, along with pretty much any other site that might be useful, is blocked by the district firewall.  Looks like a pretty cool tool though, especially for those that only need to touch up a photo every now and then.

Yeah it's way too time consuming to do several images at once, but just to know about so you can resize images away from home or for someone that has no other editing software it's great.

Picnik got bought by Google a few days ago.  Don't know what that's going to do to the service, but I'd imagine with Google's resources it should get better.  Probably going to tie in with Picasa somehow.
