I never mess with my photos either except cropping, B&W, and sepia.

If it is sharp as an image, it really does work! Let me know how it goes! After you switch it to B&W if it is too light you will be able to adjust the darkness or lightness without making the colours look all wacky like it would if you were editing in regular colour.

Let me know if you have questions!

I don’t know, but I know that you can make most of it blurry and have a circle of sharp image left. Is that what you were looking for?

Glad you enjoyed the Picnik link!!

I should do a post on messing with your settings. Have you tried increasing the ISO to 1600 it makes most shots work indoors (under regular light situations) pretty well. You can also adjust your white balance so that even the usual yellow glow from the light bulbs will be fixed.

Let me know if that helps.

What kind of camera do you have, are you able to adjust those settings?

I have Photoshop Elements and it’s so much harder to use than Picnik, which I just spent the last hour playing with. Thanks for sharing it.

My challenge is lighting and indoor shots. I take a lot of pics indoors and often there just isn’t enough light so I end up using a longer exposure but then am forced to use a tripod. Any tips for that?
