Fuss Free Framing

I typically am all about do-it-yourself crafts, but to artfully frame photos, I’ve experienced considerable frustration in the process of printing images, then finding frames that are the right style, have appropriately sized windows for your printed photos (sometimes resizing and reprinting photos is necessary), and aren’t dinged up from excessive handling at the store. Luckily, I now have a great solution.

Personalize your wall with Imagekind

So I got used the coolest little web tool the other day. I went on Imagekind, and I created a pictured "Story Frame" for my walls. Specifically, a frame with four photos. I chose a frame, matte and uploaded my photos into their system. I was able to resize and move the photos around until I was happy with the layout.

From Photoshop to Art Gallery

I love to create paintings with Photoshop and Corel. There's something about creating with my Wacom pad I just love. The problem, though, is that all these great paintings are stuck in my computer and can't be hung on the wall.

I was kind-of depressed about the situation until I learned about the company imagekind.com.

Imagekind: Get Original and Custom Art Straight from the Artists

There's no money in amateur art until you're "discovered" by someone or wealthy enough to set up a gallery or partner with other artists. The Web changed a lot of those old rules, and allowing artists to host their own work virtually for the rest of the world to see. But when you find an artist whose work you'd like in your living room, how do you contact them to get a print?

Seattle's ImageKind has raised $2.56 million in a first round of capital, reeling in the money from giant German book publisher Holtzbrinck and Silicon Valley venture capital firm Crosslink Capital. Seattle angel investors -- including former Expedia Chief Executive Erik Blachford, PhotoDisc co-founder Tom Hughes and Second Avenue Partners co-founder Nick Hanauer -- also participated.

Imagekind Scores Partnership with Flickr

When we wrote about Photo printing site ImageKind in February, the company said they were close to announcing a large portal distribution partnership. Earlier this month a reader suggested to us that the partnership might be with Flickr based on some code that appeared on the ImageKind site that accessed the Flickr API. Today, that reader turned out to be right - Flickr launched integration with ImageKind.

How to get Big Prints out of Digital Images

...I uploaded my photo to Seattle-based ImageKind (www.imagekind.com) and ordered two test prints, one on Enhanced Matte Poster paper for $13 and one on Premium Photo Glossy stock for $18.50 (six other paper types are available, as well as two options for printing on canvas). The color quality for both were very good, with the glossy version boasting slightly richer tones than the print that appeared in the EPI gallery.
