Tip of the Week: Dress up your pics

RoundPic.com is exactly what the name suggests: an image editing site where simple, square photos can be uploaded and smoothed out to create sleek, rounded corners.  The service is almost too easy. You simply upload your picture or enter the URL of the image, and click "Round It!" You can then save your new pic or customize it further by changing the size, background color, and how round the corners are. Once it's complete, just click download and you're good to go!
