How To Add Bling To Your Lens, Website or Blog

There are many sites around that will allow you to add bling to your lens, website or blog. So many things you can do.

For example, you can modify a photo of your own or a photo from Flickr. You can create an image from nothing at all or you can add glittery text or moving images to your website.

This lens will give a few ideas of the options available and a few websites you can use to add bling to your Lens, Website Or Blog.

With Online Photo Editors

Adding Bling to your lens or website can be done in many different ways. Some are more difficult and some are very easy.

Photoshop: The professional way to add bling. If you do not know how to use Photoshop, it can be difficult to learn. However, there are many tutorials around to help you get started. One Photoshop tutorial is shown below at the bottom of this lens. Go directly there if you know Photoshop and are comfortable with it.

Online Photo Editors: are usually MUCH easier to use than professional photo editors. They range from somewhat complex (Photoshop.com and Photobucket) to very easy (Blingee, Blibs). The more complex photo editors have more options. The simple online photo editors usually require no more than uploading a photo and clicking a button to add an effect.

Below are some examples of bling that I have added, either to a photo or simply by using a text generator. Near the examples shown, you will find links to all websites that I have used.

All of the photos below will be based on this one.

It was very easy to add bling to my Gummi Bear Photo with PikiPimp . I added hair, a tattoo and glasses with twitching eyes in just minutes.

The Gummi Bear photo has a rather evil look and Blibs offers many ways of animating your photos. So now it looks like it is the Gummi Bear From Hell!

There are many kinds of animation you can do some are like turning your photo into a short movie clip. For example, you can make the photo zoom in to a close up or spin around in a cube. This example from blibs shows lightning striking my Gummi Bear

I used Blingee to create a dancing Obama on my Bear Photo.
