Websites for creating online photo effects used to be hard to find based on the fact that they required a great deal of bandwidth and a great deal of speed to be really useful. In recent years though, these sites have become more popular and easy to use because broadband internet services and web hosting has decreased in price dramatically. Creating art prints online can be fun and entertaining. This is a great way to utilize simple tools to create beautiful art for your home or business.

Have a Picnik

Picnik is a fun site for creating online photo effects. You can utilize Picnik's free features to remove dreaded red-eye from your digital photography, adjust color and sharpness, add text to your photos and create amazing art prints for free. Creating art prints with Picnik is relatively easy. Just follow a few simple steps: Upload the image that you wish to work with. Use the auto fix feature to automatically fix the color and contrast of your photo. Crop and resize your photo to your specific requirements and further adjust color and contrast. Use the simple selector tools to reduce any red-eye in your photo. Use the 'create' tab to add special effects, custom photo frames and borders to your photo. Special effects will really create the art print look. Make your photo into a black and white image, add vibrance, blur certain parts of your image, add a zoom effect to your image and even select one area to be the only area in the photo that is colored. Special effects are based on personal preference and Picnik makes it easy for you to find your inner artist. Download your saved image to your computer. From there you can put it on a disc to take it to have it printed or you can upload it to a site that can print it for you. If you are a member of social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, you can upload your work to those sites for free with Picnik.
