Pictures that glitter or sparkle are common on MySpace and Facebook profiles. Unfortunately, no preinstalled program exists that allows you to create glitter pictures on your computer. However, various websites allow you to upload photos you've taken and then add glitter to them. One of the keys of making a glitter photo look good is to increase the contrast, as this will allow your picture to "pop" and make the glitter effect more obvious.
Instructions
1. Head to AddGlitter (see Resources for link). Once there, navigate to the box that says "Add glitter to any photo" and select your photo. The website will take you through the rest. These photos will glitter on any site that uses HTML, including MySpace and blogs.
2. Go to Glitterfy (see Resources). At the website, click on "Glitterfy Photo" on the left-hand side. This will take you to a new screen asking you to upload a photo. Select which photo you would like to upload, and Glitterfy will walk you through the rest. One benefit of this website is that you can automatically size your photo for a MySpace profile by checking the "Size this photo for MySpace profile picture" box.
3. Use Blingee (see Resources), another free website that will allow you to make a photo that sparkles. Click on "Make a Blingee Now." From there, follow the prompts that will guide you through the process. One of the benefits of Blingee is that you don't have to upload a photo; instead, you can choose to take a photo from Facebook, Photobucket or a random URL address.
