I decided to play around with Picnik.com and I have to say I am impressed.
I usually just edit my pictures using Microsoft editing but it is really limited.
Here is what the photo above looked like just using Microsoft:
There is a big difference with Picnik and it didn't take me any longer to edit.
I really like the quality of the images a lot more so I may even
upgrade my free account to using the premium one.
I am VERY shiny, especially in the summer, and Picnik has a shine erase feature.
I would take a lot of advantage of that one:)
Airbrushing is available to but I am only interested in playing around with it.
Since I taught a class on media manipulation I am curious to see how
much a picture can be altered using airbrushing.
If I decide to upgrade I am going to include a post to show before and after
images with airbrushing. I know that I have a few young ladies
who read OAGJ and I would love for them to understand what the media does to pictures.
These are the same shorts from this post last week.
I wanted to wear a really relaxed look on Sunday to dinner at my In Law's.
I cannot believe that I took so long finding one since it is now a staple in my closet.
It is a little sloppy since I just randomly tucked just part of the shirt in.
I ended up just letting it be untucked for the rest of the evening
and I liked the way it looked a lot more than I like this look.
Perhaps another time.
Enjoy!
XOXO,
Julie

I used to use picnik alot a few years ago. I'm starting to use them again, here lately. I mentioned them in my last post. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit.
We use Picknick.com to do some of our photos, and we agree. We love it too! It's a lot of fun to add words and graphics, plus it's user friendly.
ReplyDeleteThose shorts are so darn cute!

Cute shorts and I love your shoes! I love picnik! I use it to make my headers and some of my buttons. It's so fun!
ReplyDeletei really like picnik
ReplyDeleteimagine how bad my photos would really be without it
i don't use a lot of the airbrushing etc, but they work pretty well
love the shorts

Those shorts are so pretty! I can't really figure out if picnik helps my photos any or not... What features did you use? All I've done is use their "automatic fix" features. I should compare them next to the photos I've edited with iphoto and see if they're any better...
ReplyDeleteLoving the new pics from picnik. Im interested to read your take on airbrushing. I use only photoshop for cropping and enhancing color in my pics, but there's a lot of video out there about airbrushing pictures for mags and other media outlets. Good to know someone else is making an effort to make people aware that the images out there aren't completely authentic (and therefore not worthy of emulating)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute look. I just did a post on denim shirts. I wore mine with sequin skirt.
ReplyDeletegreat use of your chambray shirt again, really fun weekend outfit for the summer! glad you found picnik, i use it all the time, not as much as i could though to edit pictures and what not... did you even see they had a thinning application? ridiculous
