Tutorial: Basic EditingUsing picnik.com
I started with this photo, opened in picnik.com. You can click the photos to enlarge them.

I always start with Auto-fix. It enhances the colors and adjusts the contrast of the photo. If you don't like the effect, undo it!

This is the photo after Auto-fix.


I sharpened this photo next. Adjust the amount by dragging the square on the bar.

This is the photo after sharpening it.

Go to Create...

...and click on Effects.

The first effect I added was Vignette. I adjusted the strength to what I thought looked best with the photo. You can change the color, the amount that shows (Fade), and the size, also.

This is the photo after Vignette was used.

I used Sepia next.

I adjusted the amount of Sepia that would be used. You can also have the photo in only partial-sepia by using the paintbrush or eraser and holding down the mouse and dragging.

I used Boost to bring out her eyes. I used the paintbrush on and reversed the effect.
