Making TinyFx

July 18, 2008

Making what? Tiny Effects! As in, special effects for the images you upload on TinyPic. The TinyFx feature from Flektor lets you add all sorts of special effects to your images. The special effects you can add change from time-to-time, but they include fun stuff like mug shots, floating hearts, a dance beat, a motivational poster…the list goes on.

Some effects are seasonal. For example, the option to add shamrocks to a photo may only be around in the month of March, for St. Patrick’s Day. However, the more popular a special effect is, the more likely it will remain in the line-up.

But, why? Why would you want to make TinyFx from your images? Well, you might be bored. Thinking about how much you love your dog. Hey. You DO love your dog (cat, bird, snake—insert appropriate animal, vegetable, or mineral). And you have a great pic of your dog that could only be improved upon if it had floating hearts or was used in a motivational pic.

Yea! Now you have a reason to create a TinyFx Image and video hosting by TinyPic

  1. Sign into your TinyPic account, and find that pic of your dog.
  2. Click the image on your Home or Your Stuff page, then click Add TinyFx in Your Toolbox.
  3. Pick an effect. (Well, you love your dog, but forget hearts. Your dog needs KISSES!)
  4. Customize your effect. Not all effects are customizable, but if you choose Kisses, you can customize the number of kisses, the size of the kisses, the delay between kisses, the opacity of the kisses, the opacity of the glow on the image, and the lipstick color for the kisses.
  5. Adjust the position and size of your image.
  6. Click Save & Share! when your special effects are complete. Now you can share your TinyFx with everyone else who loves your dog!
