How to Focus Point an Image on Picnik
Online photo editing programs like Picnik make it easy to create crisp, interesting photos without an expensive camera. Use the site's focus tools to alter a photo as though you used an advanced aperture setting, where only part of the image is in focus and the rest of it is blurry. Most of the focus tools in Picnik are free, and the program always saves a copy of your original photo, in case you decide you dislike the focus effect later.
