Making your lenses look COOL!

There are two types of images for your Squidoo lenses. Those that look AMAZING, and those that look rubbish.

What's the difference? One has a white background, the other one doesn't.

Like the image to the left. It looks good, doesn't it?

Compare the images below, then convert yours for free.

OK. So you need a before and after. Fine. 

This is what the image looked like BEFORE I took 3 and a half seconds converting it. It looks dumb doesn't it? It doesn't fit in very well with the lens design because it has straight edges and no white backgroound.

It looks rubbish. The tiger itself looks impressive, but the image is NOT right for a lens. A straight edged image like this one really does look wrong.

And here is the 'After'... 

And this is the image after taking 3 and a half seconds to convert it. It looks WONDERFUL!

Now you no longer have to search for images with white backgrounds to make your lens look cool. Any image you like can be 'Polaroized'. The link is below.

Enjoy

And you don't have to install anything.

This is the first time that I have heard about squidoocool.com & I'm truly grateful for having came across this lens. Thanks Mr. Lewis Smile! Now, I can make my pictures more colorful and artistic. I don't know if I can use this for my pictures I've taken with my digital camera and send them off all over the Net. You see, I've been working for myself and I get paid to take photos but anyway, I'll try it out and see if it works for my little "Camera Dollars" business. Thanks again!

Neat converter. I've bookmarked it. Thanks for sharing that. I wouldn't say the original one was "rubbish". But making it a polaroid does add some interest and variety to the overall look of a lens.

It is a cool usefull effect but the original image looks cleaner to me and I would'nt say that a normal image looks "dumb" or "wrong". However, it IS a cool effect and Im glad you shared it here :)
