Change BeFunky’s Profile Picture on Facebook

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Today I was about to change the profile picture of our Facebook Fan Page. I have a great collection of images created with BeFunky, but hey, there are a lot of BeFunky users who could do better than me.  So, the fan photo with the highest number of “Likes” will be the new BeFunky profile picture for a while. Challenge starts now, until Friday 8th.
All page fans are welcome. One can post maximum 2 photos.

Please,
- No commercial stuff
- No heavy nudity
- No copyright problems

Use your own photos or any photo that you have right to upload. Edit them on BeFunky and post to our Facebook page’s wall.

May the muse be with you.

Upcoming Features: The Compare Tool

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

I will post some previews from our upcoming version. Feel free to tell us what you think by writing some comments.

One of my favorites is the compare tool. It’s a magical slider that you can use to see your image before and after applying an effect. I can drag the vertical line to change the area it covers.
