Picnik is closing!
"Since joining Google in 2010, we have been creating editing magic in Google products while continuing to keep Picnik awesome. But now we get to focus on even awesomer things. Picnik will be closing on April 19, 2012."
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! This will be the end of any future high quality compressed signatures and avatars for me. Unless there is some other means to do it without ruining the quality of the images.
Re: Picnik is closing!
This is NOT good. It's what I mainly use for my photos. I would use Photoshop but it's way out of my price range. Man, I have a major contest coming up! This is a problem...
If anyone here has any suggestions for other free photo editing websites, I would love here about them.

Sweet, thanks! Not quite the same as Picnik (I really love some of the effects it has to offer), but this looks fun!Originally Posted by Grace
Re: Picnik is closing!
it'll be up until around April something, and until then everyone gets Picnik Premium for free, according to the email.
Re: Picnik is closing!
and if you go to http://portableapps.com you can find a version of GIMP designed to install and run completely from a sufficiently sized pendrive....

I made my signature in Gimp. I also made both of the Frank Cromwell avvies that GW offers, and did that using Gimp as well.

From what I understand is that most (if not all) editing options from picnik will simply be transferred to Google Plus in April, so while the site itself will be ending by then the program itself should still be accessible if you have a Google account.

A malfunctioning quantum mirror causes an explosion and catches Major Samantha Carter unaware. When she comes to she discovers she has not only ended up on the wrong side of the mirror, but also the law! Forced to live as her counterpart, she tries to find a way home. Can she trust her CO's alternate or does he have a plan of his own?

Re: Picnik is closing!
Yes, I have used GIMP for a long time and while I still have lots to learn; I am able to create a dope signature or an avatar or even a photo manipulation. It may not be photoshop but it does alot of stuff that it does and it's free...
So yeah, use it.
