I’m watching the Rose Bowl/mourning the fact that PSU is getting blown out and figured I might as well do some writing while I’m sitting here. It will distract me from the disaster I’m watching on TV. If you are a PSU grad, student or fan, you feel my pain right now.
Anyway, I was checking out the Online News Association’s “Technology and Tools’ group discussion and perused the list of tools from Danny Sanchez at the Orlando Sentinel. It’s a pretty extensive list, but the one I decided to look at was Picnik, a photoshop like application. The big benefit here is that it is free! (A premium package is available for about $25) But it also seems fairly simple if you play with it.
To play with it, I just decided to make one photo black and white. You can also draw on your photos, make collages and all sorts of other fun things. Here are my photos.

Picnik is great, it is one of those programs you just have to play around with. Shutterfly also has some good basic photo editing tools, but for more in depth editing Picnik is a great alternative to buying the expensive photo editing software!
