Flickr adds online editing using Picnik

Posted by Carel on Dec 4, 2007 in Photo editing, Photo sharing websites | 0 comments

Flickr announced online photo editing today. Here is the story on Techcrunch. They do this in partnership with a very nifty company called, Picnik (here is their blog post). You can do things like auto-fix, rotate, crop, resize, tweaking exposure, updating colors, sharpening and red-eye reduction. Try it here. The full screen mode is very cool (the button is located in the top left corner of the screen).

Do you use Picnik — what do you think of it?

Introduction to Flickr – used for photo sharing

Posted by Carel on Nov 30, 2007 in Photo sharing websites | 0 comments

Flickr is a very popular photo sharing website. You can find a lot of helpful information in Flickr’s own web-site, including this tour. This Newbie’s guide to Flickr is also a good start, as well as theappleofmyi.com, a UK blog post.

Wikipedia is always a good place to find information. This Flickr entry is a bit more technical in nature.

Do you have any good guides or tips that you can share with us?

Photo sharing sites – including Flickr, Picasa and Zooomr

Well, somewhere along the line I’m sure you would want to share your pictures and videos with your friends and loved ones. These days you have lots of choices. Today I will list a few and over time I will start to rate these sites. I use Apple’s .Mac service. You can quickly and easily share pictures and videos using iWeb/web galleries. Using a Mac it’s easy to set up and share your pictures. Check out this beautiful web gallery.

I also use Google’s Picasa service. Most of these services give you a sizable amount of free storage and then you can buy additional storage.

What service do you use? Please rate it for us in your comment!
