Photo editing – life has become a Picnik

.
In this digital world, we find there are lots of people who just don’t have a handle on cropping and editing images.

We cut our teeth on the 1990’s industry classic graphic software Photoshop, so we’ve tended to say to everyone - well that is what you need. The problem is it is an expensive piece of software and it’s really not that easy to use.

It can import photos natively from Facebook, Myspace, Picasa Web Albums, Flickr, Yahoo Image search. Many of Picnik's basic photo editing tools are free to use. Picnik Premium includes additional photo editing features and is offered for a monthly, 6-month, or annual subscription cost.

1. Sharpen the image
2. Straighten the horizon
3. Crop the image
4. Adjust the file size
