Photo Editing is Easy With Picnik

Today is December 1st and even though it's not the official first day of winter, it sure feels like it where I live.  So, surely this is not the right time of year for some picnic time  But, maybe you should look into some "picnik" time instead?

If you haven't heard about picnik, you are in for a treat.  Picnik is an online image editing program, that allows you to transform your photos. This free web application offers dozens of tools to improve the look of your graphics. 

Unlike the more complex graphics programs like GIMP or Photoshop, picnik is incredibly easy to use.  So both homeschoolers (of all ages) and their parents will enjoy it.  Just upload a photo and within minutes you will have a graphic masterpiece.

If nothing else, Picnik is a valuable resource for just resizing photographs on the fly.  I know that I like to use it whenever I want to change the dimensions of a graphic before post the image on my blog or sending as an email attachment.

Picnik is free and no registration is required.  So, you can just upload a photo and get to work.  If you decide to upgrade to a picnik "premium account" ($24.95 a year), you will have access to additional features.  For the most part, I think that the free version is meet most people's needs.  Picnik is a great photo editing tool that both homeschooling students and their parents will enjoy using.  Spending time with picnik is fun in any season, and luckily, no ants are included!
