Picnik: Silhouette Tutorial.m4v

This is meant to be a collaborative project to do be done with teachers and students, but all "life-long learners" are welcome to join in. Also, please pass on to other teachers/classes that you know. Happy editing!

This is a fun tutorial for all levels and ages that will teach you how to make beautiful silhouettes using "Picnik," a free online photo-editing tool. For this project there is no download or log in (email) required. It's fun and easy. If you use my tutorial to create your own silhouettes, I'd luck to include your silhouettes in our public photo albums. Join our public Flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/highcontrastsilhouettes/
or,
if you don't have a free Flickr account, you can also email me to get an invitation to join in on my Picasa web album. magrelacanela@gmail.com


Please also visit my site on Vimeo for other tutorials, including a similar tutorial using Photoshop.

Great, easy to follow video on how to make a silhouette. This is so much easiser than cutting out a photo and tracing it onto black card stock.
