Picnik edit

If you're looking to make photo edits without needling to pour over thick manuals, Picnik may be more your speed than something like Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended ($699 to $999 list, $199–$899 list for upgrades, 4 stars). The free Web-based image editor makes it a snap to tweak photos—as well as create collages and share pictures on popular social networking destinations—from any Web-connected PC. There is a charge for using some of the more advanced features, and you can't open photos directly from the desktop, but Picnik is still a very capable photo editing app.Despite being a Web-based application, Picnik doesn't require that you create an account—you can simply upload a photo from the main screen and begin editing. You can upload one photo at a time without an account, but you can do up to five at time with a free account. If you simply want to sample the application to see the extent of its editing capabilities, Picnik has three demo images to sample. It's all very inviting. The one drawback? Due to its cloud-based roots, uploading images is a requirement—you can't simply click on a photo to open it.Interface and UsabilityFive tabs adorn the top of the interface: Home, Library, Edit, Create, and Save & Share. From Library you can upload new images, create a slideshow, view history, check out photos in Facebook, Flickr, MySpace, Photobucket, Picasa Web Albums and other accounts that you have the option to connect—very handy, as Picnik doesn't have its own default photo-organization area.On the Edit tab I could easily auto-fix, crop, rotate, resize, sharpen, remove red eye, and more. These all worked as advertised and simple to use, as Picnik's entire interface is designed to facilitate no-brainer image editing. In fact, Picnik gives you brief, but clear, instructions in a small

Be "coming back" to Flickr as it's going away for everyone!On the Picnik site itself, in their questions about the shutdown, you'll see this:What are some recommended photo editing sites?If you're looking for a different photo editing service, try the Creative Kit in Google+, PicMonkey.com, or Aviary.com.Hope that helps!Brenda (formerly of the Picnik Team, now with the PicMonkey Team) Posted ages ago.

As I have now delinked from Picnik, on clicking that link I got a fresh instruction to 'enable' Picnik.

I would have been happy to have paid more for my yearly subscription to picnik Posted ages ago. ( permalink ) Wil C. Fry says: Spangles44 join us at blink_again Probably a dumb question but why didnt flickr buy picnik from google?I'll take a wild guess (based on what actually happened). Google bought Picnik in order to incorporate its editing tools and interface into their own products. They've done this now (check PicasaWeb and Google+ to see some of the very same Picnik-like editing tools already incorporated).Because this was Google's intention and practice, I doubt they would have been interested in selling it.

Hi Brenda, I read here that you used to work on picnik and I am wondering if I use one of the "premium" frames to edit a picturebefore the 19th of April, is it free to use? I went on picnik afterI uploaded a picture and then "create" then "frames" I saw a reallycool reflective frame and it was a "premium" . It did look cool with my artwork but when I hit save it redirected me to a sign up page thatwanted me to pay for Premium. How can that be when picnik is closing in a few days? Is that a bug on that page on picnik? Just wondering.I had to choose another frame that I liked but not as much as the reflective one. Posted ages ago.

Fry says: Patrick CostelloHa. Yeah, instead of laying off 2,000 employees this week, they'd have needed to fire 10,000 instead. ;-) Posted ages ago. ( permalink ) Xymon says: Replacing picnik with Aviary instead of picmonkey will ensure those other 8,000 employees don't have jobs for much longer. Posted ages ago. ( permalink ) ausfi says: I do not understand those who want to abandon pro because they do not have Picnik. Also the free accounts lose it. Pro does so much more for you than the free account. Do you really only want to see 200 photos and not be able to replace a photo? Posted ages ago. ( permalink ) i_am_curiouskiwi says: it sounds like you somehow accessed an old version of Picnik... go to picnik.com and you should be able to use the premium features for free. Posted ages ago.

They are bringing Picnik back with all original features, including layers, collage, import/export from Flickr/Facebook/Picasa etc, and the original familiar interface. They are also giving away 100 free 1 year Ribbet Premium memberships if you request on invite on their site. Posted ages ago. ( permalink ) Tracerd says: I miss picnic.

Fry says: So Picnik is not working, despite their statement that it will not close until April.Picnik is working just fine.I wish I could afford Adobe Photoshop or the like but I cannotI can't either. Fortunately, there are many, many less expensive photo-editing apps. Quite a few of them are free and do quite a bit: PhotoFiltre (free), Photoscape (free), Gimp (free), just to name a few. Even Google's Picasa desktop software is free (and there's a plugin that uploads directly to Flickr). Posted ages ago.
