It has heaps of interactivity with other web 2.0 products and there are options with firefox and chrome browsers HERE
I took one photo...
and made some adjustments to it in picnik with varying success but here you go....
Here I went into 'create' and 'effects' and then ran 'Lomo'ish' on the photo. Play around with the slider till you like it.
For this photo I played in 'edit'. I cropped the image (the lines when you are cropping are great for considering composition as you can set subjects in one of the 'thirds' which is more aesthetically pleasing from a design perspective) and went into exposure and played with the sliders, then also played in the colour section to lift the colours a bit. In create I then went to frames where I added a 'drop shadow' so the image looks a little like it's lifting out of the page.
When playing with black and white I love the 'holga' effect (it's in create under effects).
This image takes on a 'surreal' effect with the 'cross-process' action in create under effects also.
Here I cropped the image, played with exposure and colour then went to 'create' and the frames to add a border, again playing with the sliders, to make the white inner frame wider.
There are plenty of other creative options in Picnik that are free...rounded corners, 1960's, vignettes, soften...have a play with a 'so so' image of your own and see what masterpieces you can create.

Teachers using Picnik
Check out the suggested picnik activities link (a .pdf download) for some ideas. If you give the photo collages idea a try picnik talks you through the creating process with pop up instructions :-)
This could be something your students can play with (and often teach the teachers) for the e-learning challenge from the Central Otago Cluster?
