Do you Picnik when you post?

When I'm not busy with real estate, I've got a camera in my hands.  I'm a shutterbug, and I can't stop myself from taking pictures!

 I also can't stop myself from editing them after the upload...

I have the Photoshop program on my computer, but sometimes it's a pain.  But I've found something better for editing my blog photos, and it's so much fun to use! 

Picnik

I love the easy to use options, and best of all you can try it and use a lot of their most popular features for free!  (however, I opted to upgrade to the premium membership and I can now use every feature on the site for the next 12 months.  I only paid $24.95 for the entire year, which is a teeny tiny fraction of what you pay when you buy a program like Photoshop!)

The best part about Picnik is that you don't have to download anything to use it; just log in to your account and you're ready to go. Sometimes when I'm running Photoshop it slows my computer down, but that doesn't happen when I'm using Picnik because I'm not running an additional program on my system.

It's a breeze for resizing photos too!

One of these photos is not like the other... now it's time to tell which one... :o)

If you are looking for an easy to use and cost effective photo editing program, give Picnik a try.  You won't be disappointed!

Oh try it if you haven't! It's an amazing tool that you can use for free!  When you get bored... you will want to spend the $25 like I did!

I use Picnik all the time and think it is a fantastic program.  I love playing with all of the great options available on it!  My children also enjoy altering photos of themselves for fun.
