Hello!
Many bloggers and those who sell their handmade work were sad when they learned that Picnik would be closing soon (me included). Now you know, I love taking pictures and editing them. Some dread this part, but not me. It is the cherry on top! I dabble with PSE and used Picnik on the side. With Picnik closing, there has been discussion about other great options out there. Pixlr is one good option – a free photo editing program with LOADS of great features.
A site for “fearless photo embetterment” just went live. I took it for a ride and love it. Let me introduce you to a witty new photo-editing site: PicMonkey.
PicMonkey has the features we love: fancy text, borders, touch-ups and all sorts of effects. And its good to know that they are adding even more useful tools (such as collages). Here are some shots that I edited with PicMonkey –
Die-hard Picnikers, I think we have some GREAT options for photo editing!

hello gorgeous xxx
this is so wonderful to hear… i loved picnik as well (cannot imagine that google has nothing lined up as a new product, but the only thing i read was that they were going to encourage using something in google +)… will head over to this site today… thanks so much cindy!
Oh I’m so glad….I love Picnik, and I am so sad to not have them anymore. I’ll try out PicMonkey. 🙂
if you recommend it, Cindy, it’s got to be good! Thanks!
That is awesome. You are awesome. Thank you so much for sharing!
Beautiful photos Cindy. I like you – love the photo editing process and I am happy to have PicMonkey as another easy to use and fast editing option!
Love the photos, Cindy. And the heads up about a couple of other options for Picnik. I am so sad about them closing and was at loose ends about where to turn for my photo editing. I’ll definitely check both out soon.

Wow – thanks for sharing this post. I am still so sad that Picnik is leaving us. I will have to give this editing site a try. I also love your pics and the editing you did! Wonderful job!
Thank you, Cindy! Just tried it out – it is great for non-techno-geeks like me! I use Photoshop Elements, but this program is FUN! Thanks again!
Thanks for a link to a TOTALLY cool site! I went and played with it and it’ll work perfectly for setting up pics for my little digital album (something mentioned in my latest post for having a pocket-show in your purse).
I am running ove rthere now Thanks so much for the info – I won’t have to have Picnik withdrawals!!!
Bahahaha I thought the header on site said ” Immoral photo enhancement” hahahahaha….oops it’s immortal! hahahaha
I will definitely try them out…I have been a bit morose over Picnik, but I think Google is picking them up to use with G+…
