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

By picking a color from a number of presets, or mixing one myself using the color mixing tool. After clicking "Add Sticker," the skull and crossbones were overlayed onto my image of white flowers—very nice. An even cooler visual effect occurred after jumping over to the Distort Tab, and then clicking Twirl, which altered the image into a pulsating mess of curve that looked pretty artsy.Another area where FotoFlexer differentiates itself from Picnik is in the inclusion of image layers—a feature typically found on higher-end image editors such as Paint.net v3.5.5 (Free, 3.5 stars) and GIMP 2.6.1 (Free, 4 stars). Including an advanced feature in as such a novice-friendly application demands a bit of handholding, and that's where FotoFlexer drops the ball. It offers no instruction on how to use the feature; Picnik explains all its function in a clear, concise manner.When you're done editing, you can save the image in only two formats—JPG and PNG—which is guaranteed to make prosumers frown. Picnik, on the other hand, offers BMP, JPG, GIF, PDF, PNG, and TIFF output.Printing and SharingUnlike Picnik, Fotoflexer doesn't allow you to print from the application. You could, however, save the photo to your hard drive and print as you would do normally. You can also share images to Facebook, Flickr, MySpace, Picasa, Phanfare, PhotoBucket, Smugmug once you select a site, click the Connect to Flickr button, and sign in with your credentials.Should You Go With FotoFlexer?FotoFlexer has parts that would satisfy the casual and hardcore image editor, yet manages to alienate both by not giving the former enough hand-holding, nor the latter enough freedom to save files as they wish, or send to printer). When it comes to free image editors, Picnik is more well-rounded on the lower end of the spectrum, while the Editors' Choice award-winning GIMP 2.6.1 does an excellent job on the higher end. Fotoflexer gets a bit lost in the middle.More Photo Editing Software Reviews:
