Editing Photo Images for MyMenuLab - Made EASY with Picnik



Have you ever struggled to get your food photos to look just right on your MyMenuLab creations? Check out this website: www.picnik.com, a web based photo editing service that is user friendly and FREE. Here are a few of it's features....First of all, did we tell you, it's free?!? All you have to do is create an account, upload photos to your library and start editing. The site allows you to adjust exposure and contrast, retouch images, crop photos and best of all, resize for your menus. (MyMenuLab suggests that photos are 300 dpi and sized to 2700 x 1800 pixels for horizontal images and 1800 x 2700 for vertical images, or a 1:1.5 ratio.) We know that not everyone has Photoshop or a graphic design degree. That's why we provided you with our Image Gallery...but we also know you may want to personalize your menus even more with photos of your food on your tables. Remember to emphasize the stars of your menu with popboxes and photos and you'll be on the road to a more profitable menu!
