Having a “Picnik”

I was reading a friend’s post about her friend that posted about this awesome editing tool in Flickr called “Picnik”. So I played with it today and the result is the pic you see above. Nothing too fancy, but wow….a little bit goes a long way.

Now, I currently do not have the ability to do my pics on Photoshop (waiting for it to either be priced to under $50 or for Santa to drop it on my head), so I do the best I can in PowerPoint. And I think, for the program that it is, I do a relatively good job.

But now I have this added bonus. So I’ll have to play around with future postings and see how they turn out. And you’ll have to let me know.

Details of the photo:
Hair – ETD’s Lisa II in Mahogany
Outfit – Last Call’s Bennett
Location – my house )

Let me know if you like it.

Hugs ‘n’ Stuff,

If photoshop is too expensive for you, try the Gimp! It takes a little getting used to, but it’s free and it can do just as much, just as well as photoshop!! It’s really amazing! Just google for Gimp, I love it!

Pauline is right. Definitely try Gimp! I haven’t used it myself but I have been “coaching” a friend who is just starting to design and just started using Gimp, and so far, all my “photoshop” advice has worked for him in Gimp The interface and the way to access some of the tools might be slightly different at times, but you can definitely achieve the same results.

About Alysha

Born into Second Life in December 2006, Alysha Rennahan has just about become a fully integrated, insanely nuts, SL as crack lifeform. Yes, RL still exists and always takes precedence. But when RL begs for escape or has the free time in its schedule, SL takes over.

Likes: her boyfriend (I love you sooo much baby <3); her wonderful, dearly loved, cherished friends who have their own individual parts of her heart (you know who you all are); shopping for clothes; good music (SL has become a virtual concert in which I always have the best seat); shopping for shoes; discovering new and unique places in SL; shopping for hair; apparently interior decorating (at least my own place); shopping for jewelry; watching movies & music videos; shopping for furniture; Zyngo (more SL crack); any kind of shopping; sync dancing; did I mention I like to shop?

Dislikes: extreme lag; finding a movie you really want to watch and finding it no longer works (never that problem with porn though..must be a guy thing); random crashes (you know, the ones where you keep talking and don’t realize you left a long time ago); out of control inventory (over 50K baby!).
