Online image editors

Flickr


In December of 2007, Picnik's functions were integrated into Flickr itself -- and three months later, MySpace -- so you don't need to switch between the two sites.

Simply upload your pictures to Flickr and hit the edit button, and you'll switch to Picnik mode.

Editing
This is the same interface as Picnik, with the same features.

Effects
Again, mostly the same, but some of the features -- certain fonts, effects and so on -- that are free in Picnik itself require premium Picnik membership to use in Flickr. If you need them, you can just head over to the Picnik site and work for free.

Blog images
Again, resizing by pixels or percentage is possible, but there's no resolution change.

Verdict: 9/10
Snipshot gives Picnik a run for its money, but the seamless combination of Picnik's wide-ranging editing options with Flickr's elegant photo management makes this darn-near perfect.
