Could it be the Instagram effect…or more precisely the Picnik effect, Google’s own online photo editing app? Nowadays, one-click photo editing apps are in vogue. More for fun and less for serious image stylists, embellishing your photos has almost become a social media activity in itself. So it’s no surprise that Google recently introduced the Google+ Creative Kit.
Google+ Creative Kit is an online photo editing app that enhances the photos in your Google+ albums with some cool effects. It is powered by Picnik. The best thing about it – you can get creative with photos right in your browser and all in your Google+ profile. Try it out.
Open the Google+ Creative Kit by selecting a photo from your photo album and then selecting Edit. You can see the Creative Kit button right there. Here is what the interface looks like:
The Google+ Creative Kit includes basic editing tools and some pre-installed image filters and text tools. Basic edits are well covered with image adjustment tools and an AutoCorrect button.
That’s when you tap on Effects, the online app goes into the creative side of things with a bunch of photo filters. It’s all almost one-touch with sliders to set how much effect you want to apply. In the Touch-Up section, you can set the brush size and a few other parameters.
Google hasn’t forgotten its Christmas with seasonal filters. I guess this section will continue to change with different holidays throughout the year. What’s a photo app if you can’t get mad at your friend’s mug shot?
The Vandalize section is just for that. From Speech Bubbles to Vampire Eyes, try out the effects for fun. OH! You can also work on your photos.
After all this, you would think that the Text section would be a bit dull. But with the line of interesting fonts, I was able to find myself designing some beautiful cards for this season on the Creative Toolkit.
Its creative toolset and effects line give you the freedom to mix and match your photos. Plus, you can tag and share them right from there. Try it and invite a few comments with your creation. Let us know if the Creative Kit adds another arrow to the already great features of Google Plus.
