Have you missed us Picnik fans? We've been quiet for a couple of weeks, but we're still here and working as hard as ever for you! There are some great new features and creative tools out now for you to enjoy.
Cryptozoologists and RPG fans rejoice! Our newest Stickers of the
Iconian variety include epic creature siluettes: not only birds, but monsters of the deep and supernatual land dwellers. So, shelve your Lovecraft and Rowling stories and head over to Picnik to let your fantastical imagination run wild.
Speaking of myths and legends, I recommend you head over to the Frames section to check out the newest Premium border:
Reflection! Far be it for me to consider any of our wonderful users narcissistic, but just like Narcissis you can now set an everlasting reflection of your image that comes out sleek and polished. And while you're in the Frames section open an old favorite:
Polaroid. You now have the freedom to
rotate the Polaroid and tilt it perfectly to your desire.
Now, test out the ol' standard: Border frame. If you've had trouble with the color picker in the past you should have a lot more success! The boys in the back have been conducting in-depth functionality tests, recalculating Fermat's last theorem as applied to Picnik's code, and banging on our servers with wrenches until something fell into place.
They've also put in a few extra tools to make navigating through the site a snap. When you first sign in you'll notice a new banner at the top of the Home: Welcome page. That new
start bar will teleport you and your image directly where you want to be: you can dive right into editing, head to the creative corner, start in on a collage, or select a fancy collage for your piece.
When you've got your project in the Edit tab or the Create tab you'll also notice a new drop down menu at the top next to the undo button:
Options. This will give you two, well, options:
close photo, which will get you started on a new project, or
combine everything, which will flatten all of your objects so you can no longer move stickers, text, layers or other objects and then you can apply effects to everything! Try it out!
And may I recommend for your trial run that you use one of our
18 new fonts?! These exciting and intense designs come from the desks of
Douglas Vitkauskas and
Billy Argel.
Finally, for those Premium members who want to get intouch with their Irish roots a little early this year, the
St. Paddy's Stickers are already at the top of the Seasonal section. Basic members will get the chance to pay homage to our dear Saint Patrick a little closer to March 17th.
If you don't see these changes at Picnik.com please refresh your browser.
Thank you & enjoy!
-Ali, Team Picnik
