You gotta love the British summer rain, rain and more rain. Just think, all those picnics you missed out on. Well that's why I am here and I been tasked with writing the weekly blog on a website called 'Picnik'. I know it’s got nothing to do with picnics but hopefully it will keep your mind off the weather, at least until the sun comes back out.
Picnik, if you haven't googled it by now, lets you edit your photos. I, for one, love photography and I think maybe one of the best parts of the art, is being able to show your work off but, that’s not all you can do with this site.
I was set a few hours to look through the site, so I could come up with something to write about and you know what...I was impressed.
Think flickr and very a cut down version of Photoshop 7, mix them up and Picnik is what you get. It’s a really intuitive little site, enabling the user to edit photos (to a basic level) and then to post them online for the others to see.
It doesn't stop there, thanks to its speedy server, you can upload photos, then edit and save them back on your desktop in minutes. Not happy with your photo's? Look for inspiration on the homepage by following the featured photographers.
If you love your photo's, print them to canvas or that special office mug you been longing for, all with a few clicks of a button.
There is only one draw back...unfortunately Picnik is powered by Flash and Flash being Flash it’s not supported on the iPhone, or iPad which is a bit of disappointment...but hey life goes on!
I am not gonna chat endlessly about Picnik and frankly I ran out of thing to say. But I will say this; if you are interested in photography or just wanna upload photos with your friends quick and easily, then Picnik is for you.
Go on have a look (picnik.com) you know you want too!
