Photo editing: how do I block things out?

[minniebride]

I want to post a picture of an invitation I made online, but I want to white out or block out the personal info on it (date, location of event, etc...).

I have the Picasa photo editing program but I cannot figure out how to do it.....any ideas? Or any online editing sites I could use?

Thanks in advance!

The photography board might have some really good answers!

I don't see a tool in Picasa 3 that allows you to draw on your photos. However, on the Basis Fixes tab, there is a link to the online editor Piknik. This lets you add stuff to your photo like text, graphics, etc. If you add a black box and resize it to cover your info, that should be what you are looking for. You then save the edited photo back to Picasa.

If you upload it to Photobucket you can use their edit to add "stickers" and can adjust them. I have done that to block out faces and things. Then you just post the IMG link to post it here

You can do it easily on Picnik.com under Create ~ I use Picnik all the time and it's easy.

How do I add the black box in Piknik? I got into Piknik ok, but I cannot seem to find that option.
