Editing and enhancing the photos in your Drupal site just got as easy and laid-back as a summer picnic. To bring this about, we’ve just launched a new Drupal module for Google’s newly-acquired online photo editing application, Picnik. Remember when the height of image editing was MS Paint? A tool like Photoshop was only for serious professionals with serious cash, and open source options were just too complicated. But, thankfully, the advance of digital photography brought a wave of tools that made it much easier for amateurs to erase red eyes or rotate images. And now, since many of us keep our images online in Flickr or Picasa, the latest trend is offering image editing as an online application, which only makes sense. Picnik goes beyond the standard resize, crop and red-eye reduction features that limit other applications.

My last post served as an introduction to designing for content management systems (CMS) in Photoshop – how to get set up and get started. In this post I’d like to give you some tips for designing some of the main components of a CMS website: the background, navigations and columns and content blocks. Next week’s post will show you how to finish things off with headings, footers and lots of fine-tuning.
