The vast majority of us have photos on our Facebook page. For those of us who are Flickr users, many of us are quite familiar with Picnik.
Picnik for Facebook is a free set of web-based tools used for quick and very easy photo editing. I am by no means a professional photographer and Photshop absolutely baffles me, so Picnik is perfect for me.
The Picnik interface is rather straightforward, as you can see below. After you choose a photo to edit, it will load up the main picnik screen, and the photo will load beneath the toolbar shown below. The eight main buttons allow you to performs individual actions ranging from rotating the photo to telling Picnik to auto-fix the picture itself. I find that, for my needs, the auto-fix function works well, correcting lighting, red-eye and contrast, to name a few. For the uninitiated, rest assured that whole whole process is quite simple.
Once you’ve edited the photo to your satisfaction, you can either save a new copy of it or you can copy over the original. All in all, Picnik is a fun and simple little app for Facebook users to manipulate their pics. Take some time to try Picnik’s features and I’m confident that you will have your Facebook photos looking a lot better in no time!
