Picnik 101: The Basics

Hi,
I need to Watermark a lot of photos and I've been reading the posts in the forums but have not found any that are very current so wanted to ask if there is any way to add watermarks in batch form so I can do fifty at a time, or 25 at a time? If it is in the premium version, that is fine I just am trying to find out if it's available at all. If there isn't, is there a way to save a text box so all I have to do is "paste" it after I open each photo?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I am trying to make my image transparent to put on my website black TShirts.  Please someone help me figure this one out please.  Thanks

Is there any way of keeping track of edits or undoing edits?  I framed two different pictures at different times but would like to go in and see what the width of the frame and matting is so that they can be the same on each one.  I tried opening the photos and clicking undo to remove the frame since that was the last thing I added, but undo isn't an option.  Any suggestions would be great!  Thanks!

Hello everyone,

Thanks for your posts!

sparklinbluiz: Good question, right now Picnik does not have a feature that will allow you to edit or save batches of photos, unfortunately each image must be edited and saved individually. I will add the request for batch editing to our wish list!

Classieladiee: Picnik does not have a transparency feature or layer right now! Thanks for the request

lizlemon77: Another good question and request! Picnik does not have an advanced history attached to each photo at this time. Right now you can remove or re-add edits with the undo/redo buttons but you can not see the specific edits that have been added.

Thanks everyone! I hope this answers your questions!

Hey, I'm wondering if there's any way to crop everything out of a picture except the object you want to use. Or maybe make everything else transperant? I want to use it for layering a hat onto my picture but I don't want the other person's face over mine of course.

Hope you understand what I mean.. Hahah
Thank you! (:

Hi there,

We do not have an extraction tool at this time, but thanks for the suggestion, I will add it to our user request list! For the time being there is a work around that can help you take the subject from one image and put it into another. To do this you will first need to open up the collage feature and put the two images side by side, then press "done". If you want the image you are creating to have a solid background, leave one of the photo panes empty.

Then you can go into the advanced section of the create tab and clone the subject from one photo into the other.

I hope this helps!

I just upgraded to premium and since I'm doing more detailed edits, is there a way to quickly compare the original photo to the one after the edits?

Thanks!

Hi cryptonium,

Yes there is! In the create tab, click on the frames option and then choose the before and after frame. This will display your original image right next to your edited image!

I hope this helps!
