Picnik is Shutting Down! Try Lunapic

This week I think anyone who has been using Picnik got the terrible email - They are shutting down effective April 19th. I am going to be so sorry to see them go. I am a huge user of Picasa but an even bigger user of Picnik. I went back into my posts from last year and pulled up the post I did about Lunapic. Lunapic is similar to Picnik and does just about the same things. There is a little less of a learning curve but it may take a few more steps to accomplish what you were able to accomplish in Picnik. At least for the time being until we find something else this will serve you until you do or maybe this will become your new "Picnik." Picnik I will miss you!

This week I discovered quite by accident a site called LunaPic for Photo Editing. It is a FREE site which of course caught my interest. Normally I will use Picasa or Picnik, both of which I love and use all the time. However when I tried LunaPic I decided I will be adding this to the mix as well. It offers different features that I found easier and quicker to do using LunaPic.

I grabbed a picture from my collection of neighborhood animals and then proceeded to do some fun things to the picture. It took me less than 5 minutes to change the edge of the picture, add a text bubble and some text. Now this is not what I would normally use it for but as you can see by the image above there are a lot of editing options that run along the left side and across the top. Enjoy!
