OTHER PLANS

I put up an album of what images I have of my grandmother's etchings. I also was lucky enough to get into the beta test of Picnik, an online image editor. I used the Museum Matte effect to frame the etchings the way that they should be. That's a new effect and I don't know if it's available yet other than to beta testers. It's a "plus" feature which means that after the beta test it'll be part of a paid subscription deal, so if you can use it, get it while you can. I'm particularly impressed by the low filesize it returned, just by using the recommended setting. Assuming Opera's telling me the truth about the image properties, and I'm sure Opera wouldn't lie to me.

I don't know that I could justify subcribing to such a service myself, but depending on the pricing, I might consider asking them to do so for me at work. For their website, I don't think I really need photoshop. A combination of freeware and Picnik might be perfect.
