Instantly Thinner Photo Tip

 After
Boy, when you see a post title like that, things get interesting!  To what am I referring?  A couple of weeks ago I was feelin' cute--you know what I mean--I had just done my hair and makeup and was heading out to Bible study and thought I'd snap a few photos of my cuteness.  (Okay, that sounds really vain.)  (Sorry for the yellow-y-ness of the photo.)

 Before
Of course I wanted to do some cropping and tweaking, enter Picnik.  I don't always use that program but they have a great "matte" option that helps with all of the, gulp, wrinkles.  Lo and beholden, I discovered they also have "Insta Thin."  I tried that option out im.med.i.ate.ly!

How to?  Start at the Picnik.com screen and upload your photo.


Next, under the Create tab, choose Effects, Matte


Finally, use Touch Up, Insta Thin (admittedly, no one in this photo needs insta thin, it was just the first one I grabbed).




It's subtle and I likey!  Now this part is vanity!  Let me know if you try it!  No, I haven't tried it with a full-body shot.

  2. You are a very beautiful woman with a heart of gold. You never needed "insta-thin".
    I worked for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics for years, I know what I am talking about!

  5. What a neat treat. I had never noticed that option but I will now look for it. I also like the angle that you used to take the photo. Which by the way is a great photo with or without the "thinner" button.

  14. That's a great tip. It's very subtle. I could use it full body! You took some really cute self portraits!

  15. Great tip! I use that program all of the time.

    I'd love it if it shaves off what my old lady attempt at kickboxing has failed to. :o) I am afraid I am looking my age.
