Picnik is that image service I’ve been requesting for a long time. I wanted something where I can quickly come in and edit some photos and leave at the end of the day. Now I’ve finally see my dreams come true in Picnik. You can call it an online version of Picasa, or even Photoshop Elements. Basically all the image editing features from the sometimes resource hog Picasa, is placed into this online editor. You can additionally use some special effects to make your photos bevel or stand out in color. This site doesn’t require that you register but you can if you want to, although I believe its pretty pointless since it doesn’t store your previous images you sent. Sometimes the initial loading times can freeze your browser for a few seconds until it finishes. A huge gripe is that its extra “PRO” features will only be available to paying customers. I’m sure this website can gain a household name and can make money off of ad revenue somewhere on the site. Once your finished editing your photos, you can save them onto your PC or email them to an image hosting service. Thats pretty much all it does, and since its in Beta, there’s much more that can be added.

Picnik is a online image editor and currently does not have any embeddable widgets.
