Picnik Online Photo Editor

For creating web graphics and editing images I use a combination of GIMP and a really old version of Macromedia Fireworks, don’t ask which version because I’m a little embarrassed to admit what it is, but I’m still using it because I like the interface and it does what I need it to do, so there. But lately I’ve been playing around with Picnik, an online photo editor that is mostly free, but has enhanced features in its premium versions.

Editing tools include auto-fix, exposure, colors and red-eye corrections while rotate, crop, resize and sharpening can be controlled with simple sliders. Touch up tools, custom made effects (most of which have the ability to be painted into just the areas of your image where you want them), text tool with dozens of fonts, dozens of shapes, including seasonal shapes for holidays/events and customizable frames.
