Picnik (online resource)

Welcome to this Treasure Chest of Free Stuff!
FREE online resources and downloadable programs for learners and their teachers.
This is a holiday season for people of different faiths and traditions around the world. I’ll be celebrating Christmas, and I’m very much looking forward to it. Here’s a free resource that facilitates using your own photos to create and share online greeting “cards” with digital photos.
Picnik is an online photo editing application. A premium version is available for paid subscription, but there many editing functions and features available for free. The function I like best is the convenient option of adding text. Currently, there is also a free collection of Christmas shapes that can be added to your pictures.
Another feature of Picnik that I appreciate is its ability to link directly to my Flickr account. I can edit photos that I’ve uploaded to Flickr and then either replace the original or create a new file and add it to Flckr. You can also link Picnik to photos that you have in Picasa Web Albums, facebook, photobucket, or webshots.
Here’s a Christmas card for you that I’ve created with Picnik.
Create a free edublog to get your own comment avatar (and more!)
Actually what I like the most about Picnik is that you can edit your photos in Flickr directly using Picnik. So instead of logging into Picnik you can do it all while still being logged into Flickr. Great to see an application that is now designed to work directly within Flickr.
