Week 9 - Life is no Picnik?




I liked Picnik and the fact I could completely obliterate a normal looking wedding photo in a few easy steps. For me the photo looks a bit like an Andy Warhol piece, then again that may just be the acid tab I popped for afternoon tea.

To get the photo you see above I experimented a bit with cropping before altering the saturation of colour and sharpness. By the way, that's me on the left being groomsman at a friend's wedding.

I like the photo effect, even if "The Wheel" aka Leanne Ferris looked dubious when I said it looked Warhol-ish.

With Picnik I liked the fact you could send photos off via email/facebook etc but was a bit disappointed not to see an option to upload direct to my blog. Was I not looking in the right place? Did anyone else upload a photo from picnik direct to their blog? Am I now expecting too much of these web 2.0 services? Am I becoming ungrateful? Will I complete this Web 2.0 training by midnight tonight??? Stay tuned ...

  1. Aaaarghhh me mateys!!! I liked Picnik so much I even went as far as editing a picture of myself-dressed-as-pirate (think kid's birthday party) for my sidebar. The photo is a bit bigger than I wanted it to be but then I do have a big head anyway so it's probably just right ;-)
