Create Polaroid Photos With the Website Rollip
I just love being able to transform a new photo into something that looks like it's from my grandmother's old photo box. I've already told you about Poladroid — the downloadable app that makes it quick and easy to make a photo look like a retro-chic Polaroid pic.
Well now there's a site called Rollip that is similar to Poladroid, but offers a few more customization options.
Ask a Geek Girl: Which Is the Best Free Online Photo Editor?
We all want to have perfectly cropped and edited photos to post to our Flickr accounts, but how can you do that if you are working without some reliable software? Take it online that's how. We received this question from TeamSugar member bluespirit who wanted to know more about free photo editing software:
"I've wanted a free photo editing program for awhile now but can't afford something like Photoshop.
Keep Scantily Clad Photos on Your iPhone Private
I wasn't born yesterday, so I know what people have hiding in the depths of their iPhones. And especially now with the hot new camera on the iPhone 3GS, it's even more tempting to put your iPhone's camera to good use.
In case your iPhone gets in the wrong hands — first step is using Find My iPhone — you should have the Private Pics app ($2) installed on your phone to prevent prying eyes from seeing your goods.
Upload Your Photos In Fun Obama-esque Themes!
Remember during the election when everyone and their sister was posting Obama-style photos for their Facebook profile pics which originated from Shepard Fairey's iconic "Hope" poster?!
Yeah I remember that too, except I didn't know how the heck they were easily whipping up these creations. Bingo!
Turn Your Pics Into a Music Video With Animoto
I love iPhoto's slideshow feature, but if you aren't a Mac fan (or even if you are), and want a fresh, simple, and quick way to put some music to your pics, check out Animoto.
Animoto is different from a regular slideshow, since the program does all the work for you. It analyzes your photos you upload (via your computer, Flickr, or another photo-sharing website) and your music choice, then creates a custom slideshow (or more appropriately, music video) for your pics.
12 Fun With Your Photos Websites
If I ever questioned why digital cameras were invented, this would be my answer — websites that let you upload your pics in fun templates and transform your photos into artistic masterpieces! Ever since we started our Website of the Day feature, I've been drawn to creative photo sites like the ones I'm about to show you. Who knew that there were so many ways to spice up an otherwise plain digital photo?!
Map Individual Photos in Google's Picasa
I recently discovered a new feature in Picasa that I had no idea even existed. Whenever you upload photos to an album, you cannot only add a location to the entire album (something I always do so people viewing the pics know where they were taken), but you can also include specific locations for each photo!
To do this, once your album is uploaded, click on "Edit" then "Album Map" and you can just drag and drop individual photo thumbnails directly onto the map.
Use Pixer.us to Crop, Resize, and Enhance Photos
Regardless of whether I'm away from my computer or not, I sometimes get lazy and like to use online photo editing sites for quick photo edits, rather than going into Photoshop, and so on. I've already told you about some of my top picks for free photo editing sites, but I've got another one to add to the list — Pixer.us — which offers more than just the basics (effects, brightness, resizing). It's no fuss editing online, and you don't even have to sign up for an account to get started.
How-To: Create Slideshows and Movies For Your Reception
If you haven't noticed, it's wedding season here on the Sugar Network and I've been busy telling you how to keep up with your own wedding website, pick out the perfect photographer, and manage all those photos — yours and your guests — after the big day. This week, we're moving into the wedding planning stages, and today I'm talking about slideshows. But this isn't the after-the-event, it-was-such-a-beautiful-day slideshow, this is the slideshow you play during your reception, usually packed with photos of you and your betrothed throughout your relationship together.
ScanCafe Preserves Your Memories, One Photo at a Time
Take a trip with me back to my parents' house, and I probably have about 20 photo albums filled from cover to cover of mainly my teenage years — yes, a good portion of my part-time job money went to one hour photo developing shops. Now that digital photos are so easy to take and access on your computer, I often wish my "old" print photos were accessible to share with friends and post in my family Facebook group.
Here's something I may have to try.
