Fab Finds Friday - free photo software

Posted by Jenn Brockman on
We often have women who are new to selling on line and one of the most important aspects to getting buyers other than developing the relationship with them, is having accurate images of what you want them to buy.

Even if you don't have a fancy camera and especially if you can't afford the big time software for photo editing, you can manage to get some fairly good editing done with the links I share below.

1. Picasa Picasa is pretty cool for a couple of reasons. You can store your photos, edit them and create things like video, collage and groups both online and off. You'll get an account online where you can share photos with friends if you like, but you also download their software and can work on your photos and images at any time on your computer off line. The editing applications are pretty basic, but overall, the program is user friendly.

2. Photobucket This one offers a little more advanced editing applications and storage solutions are on line only. (at least as far as I'm aware) I've used them for ages now to create slide shows of product photos for my online store front.

3. Pic Nic With both a free and paid membership, these guys offer some funky applications for your photos. I was introduced to them by another mom blogger and while I have not taken the leap and used them, they are absolutely intriguing in the photo alteration possibilities they offer.

If you use any of the software/sites mentioned or if you try them out, leave a comment to let me know your thoughts. Use another one not mentioned? Tell us about it.
