How to Quickly & Easily Edit Your Photos

Sometimes all you want to do is quickly edit a photo or image with out any hassle or the need for expensive software.

Luckily there are many services on the web which can do this quickly, easily and for free.

My favourite is Picnik.

Picknik allows you to upload a photo, edit it and then download it back to your computer all within your browser and without having to register.

Things you can do with Picnik:

• rotate photos
• crop photos
• resize photos
• add special effects
• add text over your images
• sharpen photos
• reduce red eye
• make a colour photo black and white

My only slight gripe is that you sometimes get a pop-up asking you if you would like to upgrade to their Premium service. I’ve never felt the need to upgrade although they do offer some nice features.

I hope this comes in useful.

(Of course, Picnik can’t do everything!
For a lot of professional photo editing tasks I would recommend a more powerful bit of software like Photoshop.)
