Tools to Revamp your Pics

A walk in Tervuren Park

Sometimes I'm frustrated by my lack of competences with tools like Photoshop. I'd love to be a creative or graphic skilled person. But I'm not. Definitely. I'm even struggling with Picasa (desktop) when adding effects to my pics. But picnik is a nice online alternative to resize images, add a frame or special effects. Most of these services are free of charges. Another tool I like for its simplicity, speed and user-friendliness is Rollip. Choose out of 40 filters to revamp your pics. And more important: get the result in less than two minutes. Just the kind of tool I like... All the images in this post are clickable for a better view.

Hey -Thanks for sharing these tools. Even I am personally not so good with photoshop. For minimal requirements, I use MS Paint and Faststone software (free version). But these seems to be really good.

Zinneke? Never heard of it!

By using this term to describe themselves, Brusselers celebrate their multicultural background and ethnic diversity.

In our dialect, a zinneke is a mongrel dog and by extension, a person of mixed ethnic origin, just like the Brussels dialect itself which is a mixture of French and Flemish with influences from Spanish.(From the time when the Low Countries were under Spanish rule)

Brussels build up around a river called the Senne (FR)/Zenne (NL). Some say the name "zinneke" was used to refer to the dogs that roamed around near the river, others that it refers to the fact that they deserved to be thrown into the river.
