Picnik – image editing in your browser

Regular Flickr users may already have used Picnik, but not even be aware of it. Picnik is the  image editing application that opens automatically inside your Flickr account when you click on Edit Photo.

Picnik provides a range of self-explanatory features such as Rotate, Crop, Resize and colour editing.

However, Picnik can also be used as an online photo editor independently of Flickr, you simply upload images directly, work on them then save them locally. A quick and easy-to-use online tool for simple editing if you do not have a copy of Photoshop Elements, Irfanview etc handy.
