Online photo editor: Picnik
Today, Photojojo praises a new online application for photo editing called Picnik, and I can understand why. It’s an extremely slick web application which works in a very intuitive and user friendly way. For example, getting it to work with my Flickr account was a breeze.
But getting it to work after getting it to work with Flickr wasn’t as easy. I tried editing a couple of my badly color balanced mobile pictures, and while the resulting pictures look much better, it caused my browser to hang several times during processing (and I even tested in Safari after Firefox hung twice, with the same result), requiring me to restart the browser. That said, full props to Picnik for getting me right back where I left, with almost no work lost.
I’m looking forward to when it’s getting more stable. To be fair, it’s not much more than a month old, and has the all too common “beta” tag in the upper left corner. So while I won’t be using it much right now, I’ll be following their blog to see how it comes along. And I suspect it might work better in Windows, so if you’re a Windows user, go ahead and check out Picnik and judge for yourself.
