Picnik Psychosis!


Image before Picnik manipulation


Image after Picnik manipulation

So here is my image manipulation on a photo of my beloved dog “Sammy”. He is my baby and is very, very spoilt. I had a fun time playing around with the wonderful features on Picnik, it’s not my first time using Picnik to edit my photos. I do have to mention I did well this time to stop myself from getting carried away with the many editing features the site has to offer. There are so may tools and features to edit photos I just want to use all of them at once, but alas sometimes they end up turning out a big mess. I guess that is why the saying goes “less is more”.

Picnik can be used in the classroom:
-Introduce the many wonders of photo editing to students.
-Edit photos for specific purposes e.g. slideshows, school newsletters and classroom displays.
-Photos can be saved from Picnik straight to Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, Photobucket and more.
-Edited photos can also be saved directly onto the computer hard drive.
-Edit photos for upload and publishing to classroom websites, wikis and blogs.

  1. Hello Eva
    I agree" less is more". Picnik allows for one's creative side to go a little overboard when using the editing features and tools. I found the program was easy to use and students would have very few difficulties using it themselves. A time saving feature is the ability to save photos directly to other accounts.
    Your blog looks great!
