For my second Emerging Technologies Post, I decided to build off my first podcast and continue on with the technology known as Picnik.com. Picnik.com is a interactive website that allows you to edit your photos in a new and creative way. Such features of this website include being able to auto fix a picture, change it's color, change it's quality, change it's appearance, doctor discrepancies, downsize, and creatively enhance.
I first learned about this technology when I started college at IUPUI. A friend of mine introduced me to the website after I commented on how good a picture of hers looked, come to find out, the reason it looked so amazing was because she used Picnik.com. Prior to my Picnik days, I had been trained to use a program called Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop is both very expensive, and quite confusing to get used to. Picnik.com however, is a breeze to get used to and includes lot of guided instruction.
If you would like to learn more about Picnik.com and how to use it, you might try listening to the podcast in my previous post. There, I go over some basics of Picnik and how to get started editing! I must also add that Picnik.com is a website that has some limitations. Some of the more advanced features can only be utilized by a means of registering and paying to be a member. However, there are tons of functions that are free and allow for a great photo to be created!

Here is a photo of me on Halloween before and after editing with Picnik.com! I changed the color to black and white, added a frame, and added some text! This totally changes the look and overall feel of the picture!
Here are some other photos I've edited with Picnik.com:

I love Picnik. I've also worked with Photoshop as well and love that IU offers it free to students. I agree with everything you said about Picnik as well. Keep on picniking :)
ReplyDeleteI love picnik too! Great job on these pictures. I like the last one the most! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis seems to be a very popular site. I cannot wait to try it out, it looks to be so much fun. I don't really do scrapbooking, never tried, but this looks to be fun and easy!
