How to Download a Slideshow From Picnik to Facebook
Picnik is a free photo-editing and file-storage service that allows you to upload images from a wide variety sources and share them with your friends and social networks. Picnik doesn't limit you to individual photos, however; you can also create slide shows with up to 10 images from your account's photo library. If you want to share a slide show from Picnik with your Facebook friends, you can use your unique Facebook email upload address to embed a link to your slide show onto your Facebook Wall directly from your Picnik account.
