			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rollip is an online service that allows users to apply filters and effects on their digital photos without any additional applications. Users can upload their photos to change its look and feel from over 40 filters ranging from 70&#8242;s Vintage to modern styles. Rollip was kind enough to offer the LOOKS.GD community with 15 premium accounts loaded with 30 credits for us to experiment and test out!</p>
<p>Enjoy and happy commenting!</p>
<p>Rollip.com has a very simple and user-friendly interface. Just sign up with your email address and you&#8217;re good to go.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-557" title="Rollip home page" src="http://www.looks.gd/media/rollip_02.jpg" alt="Visit Rollip.com" width="556" height="307" /></p>
<p>To take you on a walk-through of the service, I have set up an account so I can apply this very cool pencil-sketch effect on a digital photo. Here you can see the result of the effect I applied in a matter of seconds:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.looks.gd/media/rollip_01.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-552" title="Before and After Preview" src="http://www.looks.gd/media/rollip_01.jpg" alt="Before and After Preview" width="545" height="182" /></a></p>
<p>As soon as you log in, you can browse through and select from a expansive range of digital photo effects including vintage, black/white filters, or even make your photos look like old Polaroids. To get the sketch-like effect like the one shown above, navigate to the <em>Extreme Stylized</em> effects and select the pencil sketch effect.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-558" title="Effects selection" src="http://www.looks.gd/media/rollip_03.jpg" alt="Select an effect by clicking on the preview" width="556" height="307" /></p>
<p>By clicking one of the previews, it will take you to a page where you can upload your photo. It will open a window for you to easily select the image to process and after a few surprisingly short moments, it will be uploaded to the site and processed.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-560" title="Uploading photo" src="http://www.looks.gd/media/rollip_04.jpg" alt="Uploading photo dialogue" width="556" height="307" /></p>
<p>After the image is uploaded, Rollip will show you a preview of the effect applied on the original photo. By pressing the <em>Click here to process in high-quality</em> button, Rollip will further refine and process your image again, applying the full high-quality effect.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-563" title="Effect preview" src="http://www.looks.gd/media/rollip_051.jpg" alt="Preview the photo effect before applying it" width="556" height="307" /></p>
<p>Rollip is truly a remarkable tool for amateurs and professionals alike. It brings the best out of everyday digital photos right on the web and it has great potential to become a very powerful and widely used service. Never before has a professional service for photographers been so easy and versatile. I look forward to Rollip&#8217;s future developments and prospects and experiencing its many yet-to-be announced features.</p>
