How To Crop and Edit a Photo

Experts all agree, having a good profile photo on social media sites ranks #1 in importance.

Many times people don’t have a good photo of themselves or they have one that’s good but other people are in the photo. Never fear, even if you have a group photo with just your face you can use it.  Just crop your face, give it a border and presto! You too can put forth an appearance!

There are many photo sites online.  My favorite is one called Picnik

First you will need:

  • A photo on your hard drive (remember where you put it!)
  • A FREE service (no login needed) to http://www.picnik.com

You will learn in this screencast:

  • How to crop & resize
  • Add a Border
  • Save to your hard drive

Watch the Screencast for a step-by-step demonstration of how this works. Just click on the start arrow.
