PicniK: A Hosted, Free Photoshop Alternative

Picnik is a FREE, online photoshop alternative.

It's the easiest way on the Web to fix underexposed photos, remove red-eye, or apply effects to your photos.


What can I do with Picnik?
With plenty of Edit tools you can fix just about anything that could possibly go wrong with a photograph.

Many of the editing tools are one-click fixes, including auto- fix, exposure, colors, and red-eye.

And the others, like rotate, crop, resize, and sharpening, can be controlled with easy-to-use sliders.

Also available are custom-made Effects (most of which have the ability to be painted into just the areas of your image where you want them), an awesome text tool with dozens of fonts, dozens of shapes, including seasonal shapes for holidays and events, and some super customizable frames and much more.

Picnik lets you upload photos from your computer; and it can also pull photos directly from photo sharing sites like flicker, Picasa, facebook, WebShots, PhotoBucket etc.

They used to have FREE and Premium type accounts, but Picnik has just announced that users will now have full access to all of Picniks editing features for free.

Tools now available to all users include advanced edit tools, special effects, additional fonts and shapes. The service will be ad supported, but those wanting an ad free experience can sign up for Picnik Premium for $24.95 a year.

So to use ALL of the editing features for FREE simply sign up for a FREE account.
