Picnik

Picnik.com is a free online tool used to edit pictures. You can crop and re-size pictures, remove red eye, and enhance colors of the photo. Personally I was not impressed with this web-ware, the only thing that interested me was that it was online. If Picnik added more features like filters, brushes, and more effects I think this web-ware would be better

Here are the names of some photo editing software’s I would recommend.

Photoshop Elements 6 won the Photo Editing Software Review for 2008, you can get this program for about $100.  Adobe Photoshop is one of the most well known image editing software’s. You can get various editions of this product at prices ranging from $100-$700. GIMP is a free open source program but I would recommend this program if you are new to photo editing and don’t want to spend a lot of money. Picnik is free although you can pay $24.95 per year and get more features.

Most reviews of Picnik I have seen are about the same. Stating that Picnik is an easy tool to use but it lacks features. http://photodoto.com/review-picnikcom-online-photo-editor/

 This is a photo I edited with Picnik.com. I changed the exposure and colors until I got this effect. I tried to make the jet look black and white while the sky still remains blue.

Overall for free photo editing that I have used, I would recommend GIMP over picnik due to having more features.
