[VIDEO] Don’t have Photoshop? No problem! WP Paint to the rescue

wordpress paint pluginNo more worries about image editing in WordPress!

Yes, I know. They added some functionality to WordPress a few versions ago, and they’re great for basic editing, cropping, re-sizing, etc. But for more COOL options- this plugin will do the trick!

I found this plugin, WP Paint,  on CodeCanyon.net and while I DO have photoshop, I’ve been helping my nephew build a WordPress site and he doesn’t and I remembered seeing this so thought why not give it a go? And especially at the whopping price of $8… I figured it wasn’t TOO big of an investment!

The easiest way to show you how WP Paint works is with a video. One thing I will tell you though is that it has seemed a little slow loading. It uses the Sumo Paint API, which, I have to be honest with you, I hadn’t heard of Sumo Paint until I tried this plugin. I know, I feel so out of it (unless of course YOU haven’t heard of Sumo Paint either and in that case it’s all good).

The other suggestion might be to install it in a different WordPress install (or a dummy install as I call them- one of ‘test’ sites that I set up on my hosting to try things out) and then you can always edit your images there,  then download them for your primary site. I know, sounds like a lot of extra work. But really- it’s not too much different than using photoshop – this one is just inside of WordPress!

Anywho- I’m not going to go into ALL the options with this- you can play with those yourself.

*Quick Note*
To install this plugin, just upload the zip file like you normally would when you ‘add a new plugin’. There are no settings to configure, you just upload your images in your Media Library (or you can edit images already uploaded in your media library) and when you hover over the image name you’ll see your image options (edit, delete, edit with sumo paint, etc.). I didn’t want to make you sit through that too!
