Photo Editing Can "Bee" Pretty Easy!

Like most REALTORS®, we take tons of photos, some of which look good in the viewfinder but when looked at on the PC don't exactly make Ansel Adams worry about losing his place in photography's Hall of Fame. We have a premium membership with Picnik, and love the countless ways you can edit a photo there with just a few clicks.

There are a myriad of other ways to manipulate photos in any way you choose: Photoshop, Aviary, FotoFlexer, LunaPic, Phifxr, and dozens more. They'll do just about anything you want to a photo, from simple adjustments to changes that will make it almost unrecognizable from the original photo. But, sometimes all you need is just some brightness, contrast or color adjustments to make the pic really pop.

Enter KanubeeKanubee Online Photo Editor

This is a web-based photo editing site that was unveiled at Inman Real Estate Connect in New York recently, and 1000Watt Consulting was on hand to get the skinny on it. One of the things that struck me most was the ability to just drop in your own logo - or one of theirs - as a way to watermark the photo. Yes, you can do that it other photo software, but it was extremely easy to do in Kanubee.

Watch the demo of Kanubee and see if you don't agree it deserves a place in your photo editing tool box!

I played on picnik a few times and really enjoyed it. I am planing on digging a little deeper on it soon. Thanks for the information!

There are just so many cool tech tools out there, that I don't seem to have time to explore and use them all, blog on a regular business, prospect and work with clients.  Oh, and uh - have a personal life too!

That's pretty cool! Have fun with it - too complicated for me! But you really know what you're doing and you do it well!

Hi Pat and Wayne - Thanks for the information. I also use picnik but I am not sure if it has an eraser so I will check it out.

Hi Michael, I know we've talked via email, but I wanted to acknowledge you here as well. There was a problem accessing this post for a while so I couldn't immediately, but it's fixed now thanks to the AR Support Team!

Anyway, thanks for getting me set up, I look forward to using Kanubee more going forward! Have a great week!

Hi Pat and Wayne,

I did notice the site went down for a bit; glad ActiveRain has it up and running again! I hope you can use the logo that I set your account up with and please do not hesitate to ask if you want another logo added or different size options. Also I can add phrases such as "Just Listed", “Just Reduced”, “Lease Purchase”, etc as logos if you have a use for them. These options are completely free and open to everyone just send me an email at mhaddad@northreal.com and I will be happy to help.

Thank You,

Michael
