GIMP is another great free piece of software you can download to do simple photo manipulation. One of the great things you can do is remove the dreaded red-eye from your photos. Using this simple tutorial you never have to worry about red-eye again. Especially good for those of you without Adobe’s Photoshop. Happy photo taking!

Use Picnik to edit your photos for free

If you have not heard, there’s a website called picnik that lets you edit your photos for free! Hey this is great if you want to crop your photos, add text, add special effects, add light, clear up red eye and so on. It even works on a mac, which makes me happy :) and you don’t need Photoshop. But most of all it’s free, and you can’t go wrong with free.

The Personalized Photo DVD

Have you seen our newest product? The Personalized Photo DVD. Just in time for Christmas, perfect for your kids, nieces, nephews, grandkids or even your friends kids. It’s really quite unique.

You can even see a 30 second preview so you can see exactly what we are talking about. It’s guaranteed to make them smile.
