Angeldogs, I like picnik- [url]www.picnik.com[/url]
I don't know if you can tell in my avatar, but there are really fun effects you can use to make your picture look 60s/70s-ish (photos with rounded corners, sort of kodachrome looking, faded, etc.) It's pretty straightforward and there's quite a lot you can do with the effects, captions and cropping etc. Word of warning-- once you start with the fun stuff you can't stop :laughing: :thumbs up |
Thanks add it to my favorites file.we check it out.

Gimp is quite a powerful free program and does many of the same things photoshop does - it is highly recommended. Like any other program that is powerful, there is a learning curve but it's not too huge and there are tutorials and manuals to help.
I am just a rookie with Gimp but if members can't figure something out I can always try to help (Just PM me)....and MANY people use Gimp so you can also Google what you are after. [url]http://www.gimp.org/[/url] Here's the manual [url]http://docs.gimp.org/en/[/url] Here's some tutorials [url]http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/[/url] The other much simpler and more basic program that I recommend is located at [URL="http://www.irfanview.com"]irfanview.com[/URL] Hope that helps, Marko |
Thanks Marko.
I down loaded the infranview for resizing pics.i will have to bring it up again a check it out some more. |

I've been using Irfanview for simple stuff ever since it came out. It's a really good program, it's free and it's simple to use. For more complicated work, I use Photoshop, and will probably spend my next three lives figuring it out. |
I've been using Infranview since Marco mentioned it in his post.

If you have a pro flickr account, picnik is built into flickr to do some light adjustments similar to what lightroom/aperture offers. But if you're looking more for a photoshop solution with more intensive editting, like the other posters have mentioned, GIMP is the way to go

you can also use PhotoFiltre. ( not sure if this is what your looking for) it is about half way down the page. |
Google's Picasa is a wonderful free program for photos. I have PaintShopPro and PhotoShop, but I use Picasa more and more for regular things like resizing, cropping, adjusting colours and such. Picasa also allows me to very quickly make collages, upload to a picasa web album with good privacy settings, and so forth. I can automatically upload photos from Picasa to Facebook and Blogger too.
