Rounded corners mean I love you

January 29, 2010 by Minnie 2 Comments

Have you ever noticed how nice round cornered photos look in blog posts? Nice, eh?

Here is an example of a photo taken from my flickr stream with rounded corners added.

If you don’t have fancy photo editing software on your computer you are not out of luck. Picnik.com is a great free online photo editing software. It can hook up to photos on your computer, flickr stream, facebook, picassa or myspace account. So very handy!!

Here is an example of a photo with rounded corners and a drop shadow!

Here’s how:

Go to picnik.com, register (or not) and hook up to your flickr stream or upload a photo form your computer.
-Click the Edit tab and you can mess with your saturation, contrast, etc. You can resize or rotate.
-Go to the Create tab, choose the frames option and then choose Round corners. you can edit the corner radius and background color.
-If you want to add a drop shadow make sure you choose transparent background.
-Choose drop shadow and you can mess with various options in there.

Picnik has so many other great features (like making your photo into a poloroid!) you should go check it out.

    so your tag will look like this:

Independent Crafters Information

On the Indie Crafts section of CraftGossip I like to support other indie artists by posting tips about running a handmade business, blogging and other helpful information. Once a week I try to feature handmade shops to showcase their work. I also like to share trendy, popular DIY's that I think are amazing and hope you do as well. If you are an Independent Artist or want to start a handmade business, this is the place to find resources. Or if you just love DIY's and everything crafty I hope you'll find some fun projects to make and be inspired by the artists I feature!
