Create Your Own Photo Planets With the Polar Panorama Effect
I stumbled upon this great blog post, which shows examples of panoramic photos that have been altered in Photoshop to create your own little planets (like the one shown here), and got lost inside the 50 examples they provided for this fun and unique effect. I'm all about learning new ways to have fun with my photo library, so naturally I added this to my editing experimentation to-do list. Plus, the effect totally reminds me of the planets from Super Mario Galaxy, and you all know how much I adore that game.
Step Up Your Next Party With a Sexy, Inflatable Photobooth

Geek Tip: Age Your Photos Instantly Without Photoshop
There are a ton of things you can do with your digital photos and a photo editor besides just adjusting light and focus. You can make them into movie stills, or turn them into Lomo works of art. I happen to like the aged look, and it's always fun to turn them into Polaroids, but if you aren't using Poladroid, this can take forever to make the effect yourself.
Turn Your Pics Into Movie-Like Stills in Just a Few Steps
I love passing along great photo tips, especially ones that turn your photos from ordinary to extraordinary. Like the time I showed you how to turn your pics into mini models with the Tilt-Shift effect or how to Lomo-fy your digital photos to replicate the lo-fi camera results. I found this tip while stumbling across the web and love the effect it created.
Wedding Tip: Have Your Guests Upload Photos to One Place
I used to think that having disposable cameras at each table at a wedding reception was such a fabulously brilliant idea.
But now the quality of the disposable film cameras is too shoddy for any possible framers, plus the kind of people who are going to take photos will have already brought their own cameras. To further drive a stake in the heart of this old trend, last year the majority of you voted that you no longer loved it.
How to Use iPhoto's Tags, Hotkeys to Make Slideshows Easier
The idea of tagging photos is nothing new, but most people use it for things like identification, ala Facebook or Picasa (whose face-recognition technology continues to blow me away). After having had several parties in the last few months for people, and thereby putting together slideshows featuring the guests of honor, I realized how much photo tagging could help me — but with the original files.
I'm finally putting iPhoto's tagging to use; not only will tagging the photo files by the names of the people in them to sort through later, it couldn't be easier.
How-To: Combine Photos From Different People With Picasa
At the end of a holiday or party, several people usually end up with photos of their own from the same event — wouldn't it be great to combine them all easily? If you're a Picasa user, you can do it!
In Picasa, go to Settings and scroll down to "Allow me to upload photos by email."
Geek Tip: Easily Watermark Your Images with PicMarkr
Do you know what a watermark is? I'm sure you have seen them on a few geeksugar posts, but do you know what are they used for? A watermark is used to tell people who the photos belong to, and especially helpful if you don't want anyone else using them without your permission.
