What Picnik Can Do For You
Picnik Premium is free for everyone! Picnik is closing down later in April 2012 and until that time, all the Premium features are free for everyone! I've been using Picnik.com for several years now via the interface at Flickr. I found it so useful that I'm a registered user and for about $25 year I have access to even more fun ways to fix up my photos. This lens will share some fun ways to spice up your scrapbooking or arts and crafts projects. Flickr is once again working with Snapfish so any photos you create can be printed from your Flickr account.
Using Picnik.com to Fix the Exposure of Your Image
Many digital photographers don't have the expensive lighting equipment needed to solve lighting issues. You can use Picnik for small fixes to the picture quality. Premium accounts have access to a more versatile tool for changing exposure called "Curves". But, this image below was editted with the free "Exposure" option. Brightening the image really helps the pink rose stand out among the leaves.
Creating Blue Roses with Picnik.com
Just as Mother Nature Intended
You can change the flower color using the option "Tint". I learned this technique thanks to a video by curiouskiwi as discussed on my blog.
Create Your Own Avatar with Picnik.com
This video gives an example of creating a 100 x 100 avatar from a larger image using Picnik. It's also a very useful video because it'll show you how to save higher quality JPEG images at the Picnik.com site.

- Have really enjoyed easily cropping photos and playing with the colors in Picnik. I hope there will be the same editing tools in Google+.
