How to use pictures from http://www.flickr.com/
Find a picture you want to use.
It won’t let you copy the regular sized picture.
Here’s what to do:
Click on picture to get to the picture without all the additional items.
Copy that URL
Don’t forget to remember or write down who the photographer was. Give credit where credit is due.
Go to http://www.zoom.it/
(Notice there is no .com)
Paste the URL of the picture at the bottom where it says “Create your own…..”
Enter/return (depending on your computer)
When it finishes converting and loading, right click on picture and save it again.
You’ll notice that it is a png. format inside of jpg. That’s okay.
Now go to http://www.picnik.com/
This is a free version of Photoshop. If you want to do a lot of the special effects, you can buy a premium package.
