Have a Picnik!

Compare the pictures below. It's the same picture but one is better than the other, right? The one on the right is better in terms of sharpness and color. I did not use Photoshop to do this. I used a free, browser-based photo editing tool to make the original look more vibrant and to make its color more realistic.

What editing tool did I use to make my picture look better? Alter your most treasured stills using this awesome online photo editor called Picnik! This thing is browser-based so no need to download anything, no need to pay for anything, just register and its all yours for using.

What I like most about Picnik is it's so easy to use! You don't need serious editing skills to perfect a shot of yourself, a landscape, or that mobile phone you fancy. Thanks to its easy-to-navigate interface, with large tabs and scroll bars, an awesome effect is just a click away. All you have to do is to click on the icon of the effect you want, adjust the degree of the effect using a slide, and there you go! You've just made your photo cooler!

There are tons of effects available in the free version. Yes, there are two versions of Picnik. One is for free and the other, called the Premium. The difference between the two is with the number of editing tools, effects and frames yu can use. But when you can get a lot witht the free version, why the need to upgrade to premium, right? With picnik, you can edit your photo's sharpness, color, contrast, and exposure. You could even crop, resize and get rid of red-eye. But that's not all. Picnik allows you to add effects like tint, neon, sepia, molo-ish,etc. Add text, shapes and frames. There's alot of effects to choose from. That picture of a puppy above was transformed to this cute image on the left with Picnik.

What i did was I added a frame to make it look like a picture from a polaroid cam, added text and shape and that's it. I did this under 3 minutes! That's how easy to work in Picnik.

Try it yourself. Click on the image below and start editing...
