About Picnik edit
If you're looking to make photo edits without needling to pour over thick manuals, Picnik may be more your speed than something like Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended ($699 to $999 list, $199–$899 list for upgrades, 4 stars). The free Web-based image editor makes it a snap to tweak photos—as well as create collages and share pictures on popular social networking destinations—from any Web-connected PC. There is a charge for using some of the more advanced features, and you can't open photos directly from the desktop, but Picnik is still a very capable photo editing app.Despite being a Web-based application, Picnik doesn't require that you create an account—you can simply upload a photo from the main screen and begin editing. You can upload one photo at a time without an account, but you can do up to five at time with a free account. If you simply want to sample the application to see the extent of its editing capabilities, Picnik has three demo images to sample. It's all very inviting. The one drawback?

From Library you can upload new images, create a slideshow, view history, check out photos in Facebook, Flickr, MySpace, Photobucket, Picasa Web Albums and other accounts that you have the option to connect—very handy, as Picnik doesn't have its own default photo-organization area.On the Edit tab I could easily auto-fix, crop, rotate, resize, sharpen, remove red eye, and more. These all worked as advertised and simple to use, as Picnik's entire interface is designed to facilitate no-brainer image editing. In fact, Picnik gives you brief, but clear, instructions in a small

As I have now delinked from Picnik, on clicking that link I got a fresh instruction to 'enable' Picnik.

I would have been happy to have paid more for my yearly subscription to picnik Posted ages ago. ( permalink ) Wil C. Fry says: Spangles44 join us at blink_again Probably a dumb question but why didnt flickr buy picnik from google?I'll take a wild guess (based on what actually happened). Google bought Picnik in order to incorporate its editing tools and interface into their own products. They've done this now (check PicasaWeb and Google+ to see some of the very same Picnik-like editing tools already incorporated).Because this was Google's intention and practice, I doubt they would have been interested in selling it.
