Picture Perfect

I don't know if you remember, but a while back I had written about scrapping your pictures even if they aren't perfect. I still stand by that - BUT - some teens from our church introduced me to a little gem of a website called "Picnik".

Picnik is a great little site for editing your pictures, especially if you don't feel comfortable with Adobe or other more complex programs. It is all set up to be dummy-proof! The best part is that you can use it's more basic features for free! Tooth whitening, red eye removing, blemish healing, softening, black and white, and many other features are simply a click away! The biggest downfall to using Picnik is that you can only edit one picture at a time, so it is not really time efficient. I am unsure if that would change if you chose to pay for the premium service or not. The other thing I have noticed with Picnik users (in general - not every user) is that a lot of photos end up looking like some sort of abstract art. You have to know when to stop. Just a tip if you decide you would like to try it out - remember to save the picture at the highest quality possible if you plan to print it AND remember to save the picture with a new name so you do not lose your original!

I hope this will inspire you to use a few of those pictures that you might have overlooked due to imperfections.
