We were pretty stoked to log onto Photobucket this week (our longtime choice for storing photos online) and say wait...what happened? It's awesome!
As it turns out, they just partnered with Pixlr to offer incredible photo editing tools for free, a huge improvement over their previous format.
Basically, we think this puts Photobucket back in the running for Picnik alternatives, something we wouldn't have suggested even a week ago.
If you don't already have one, simply sign up for a Photobucket account and you'll have immediate access to a whole slew of editing tools, beyond the very basic ones they've always had.
Upload photos to your account, select which you want to edit and then make whatever modifications you like, including removing red-eye, whitening teeth, cropping, airbrushing (yes, please), resizing and much more. You can also add special effects and graphic overlays to the photo, as well as borders, stickers, text--even touch up your lipstick.
If you're well-versed in photo editing, you can switch to the site's "Advanced" editing interface which gives you the options very similar to what you'd find in Photoshop, with a plethora of customizable photo editing options that more experienced editors are familiar with. Even as a frequent Photoshop user, I found the basic options to be more than sufficient but it's nice to know there's more in case I need them.
Let's face it, there are times when we see photos of ourselves and notice things we want to change. If you want to remove that little poppy seed from your teeth or hey, even get an instant "treatment" to make your teeth whiter, the new editing tools at Photobucket can help. We won't tell. -Jeana
