Create Impressive Expressions
Do you want to strike a pose or have your photos strike an impression? I came across this today while picnicking at my fellow rainmaker's site Michelle Cadogan. This is a great tool to use to enhance your pictures. Impress your clients and attract more attention. Good Luck.
Wanna Go On a PicNik? A photo PicNik that is...this is a photo enhancing program that my friend in ActiveRain, Kris Ginsberg* (see below) turned me onto. It's a free program, and you could upgrade for as little as $2 a month approximately. Here's just a sample of before and after shots that I've taken and tweaked:

Kris is going to work with me on a "tutorial" today, as I prepare for writing a blog post for the PhotoBlogging Contest (William Johnson on ActiveRain**see below). In the meantime, I just googled PicNik and it was really easy to walk through...I thought.
- Upload photos-I hit that first
- I loaded a photo from "My Pictures" (directly from my computer)
- It went right to Edit on PicNik
- It gives you tabs to choose from: Autofix, Color, Exposure, etc. (I might suggest Autofix if you don't want to do it manually)
- When done, hit Okay
- To further enhance-hit Create
- You can add framing, effects, text (I chose Matte frame, and then added my signature)
- Then hit Save and Share
I just did this one quickly while writing this post.
