A few weeks ago I wrote about two really awesome Realtor® productivity tools—MobileMe (soon to be iCloud) and CardMunch. I’m in love with CardMunch (apologies to my hubby). I should be their sales representative in San Diego County. Today I was showing it off to one of the guys in my office, and I think he fell in love, too.
But, there’s another free (free is good, right?) platform that I use almost every single day that makes my life easier and that is Picnik. Picnik is an Internet-based photo-editing tool that makes editing your photos a walk (a picnic) in the park. It’s so easy to use that most people will abandon Photoshop and other photo-editing programs and go with this one.
Sometimes the photos that we take of properties are high resolution and need to be resized. You can resize a photo on Picnik in about 25 seconds. You can also place text on photos and make other minor edits to photos—including cropping and straightening.
Check out what I have done to this property photo (which was taken on a very foggy day and is crooked):

After the Picnik:
After about a year of using Picnik to resize and crop photos and I got a pang of guilt. So, I signed up for one year of the premium membership ($24.95) that allows me access to a bunch of other cool photo-editing tools not available with the free version.
So, if you are a little bit graphic design phobic but like to use nicely edited photos in your blog posts and in your advertising, Picnik would be a good place to start!
