Well actually, can a girl have two BFFs? I am smitten with Photoscape and Picnik. Both are free photo editing sites that I don’t know what I would do without. They each have their own unique qualities, and since I previously posted about how to use Picnik, I thought you might like to know about another really awesome site – Photoscape!
I haven’t heard of many other people using Photoscape, and if you are one of those people who haven’t discovered it yet, you are really missing out. Â Part of the reason I like it so much is that is it easy. Â I can do a little editing on my photos without having to know Photoshop. Â It’s kind of my “Photoshop for Dummies”.
What can you do in Photoscape? Lots of things! You can combine pictures into a number of collages or pages, you can frame pictures using one of their many frame choices, you can change the whole look of a photo by using their vignetting feature, use the auto contrast (to make your pictures really pop), add text balloons, or my favorite – bloom. There are literally so many options that I cannot begin to list them all.
Here is a picture I took of my friend’s daughter and a dog (a cute dog I might add!).

I could sit here and play with photos all day long – the possibilities are endless.
Not that anyone wants to see my face this much at one time *cough* but just to see what you can do.

Or I could add a frame:
There are so many frames to choose from!
And let me repeat – Photoscape is SO easy to use! Â It is free to download Photoscape. Â Enjoy!

I love Photoscape. Been using it for at least a year if not more. Didn’t know about that option of putting photos on top of the other photos. Where did you do that? I have Photoscape open, but I don’t see “Photo”. I love making .gif photos and putting a watermark on it. Oh, and I loved the feature of putting arrows because I did that when doing a WW of my garden.
I added the photos from the editor screen, then in the tabs in the lower left hand corner (Home, object, crop, tools), I chose object. From those options, on the left hand side above the “T”, there is a little image icon. You can add other things or your own photos!
Ahhhh! Just did it! Thanks! That’s awesome!
Hmmm I am not sure what is happening. I am now on a Mac so cannot test it out for you, but maybe if you google “Photoscape Download Problems” you will find some help? I sure do miss Photoscape!
I haven’t tried Photoscape before. I liked the vignette effect.
I’m an amatuer photographer, and I used Photoscape, Piknic, and Paint Shop Pro 7 when I have to do editing. I love all 3!!
This looks great and I don’t know how to use Photoshop so I’m glad it’s easy.
I just downloaded it and can’t wait to try it. =)
I love the reflection feature!
Oooh… Definitely going to check it out! Thanks!!
Thanks for this Speedy! I am so disappointed that PicNik is closing, but this sounds great. I’m downloading it now 🙂
I am so sad too…I sure will miss Picnik. It wouldn’t be so bad, as I could just use Photoscape, except I bought a Mac recently, and unfortunately I can’t use Photoscape on Mac.
What a neat site! I’m on the lookout for something that will unblur my photos so I’d love to hear if you find something for that.
i book marked!
Thanks, what a fun site to learn about!
I love photoscape!!
Me too! I might have to whip out the PC for photo editing lol, since I can’t use Photoscape on my Mac.
I haven’t tried this one, but will have to check it out.
