Flickr today launched photo editing tools via a previously announced partnership with Picnik.
Details are on the Flickr blog, but its pretty straightforward. Click the “edit photo” button above any of your stored photos, and Flickr launches the Picnik editor without forcing you to leave the site. When you are done editing you can save the photo or, if you are a Flickr Pro user, replace the original.
Screenshots below.
Wow, cropping and red-eye correction. The future is now.
Nice, but what’s with all those 466 unread emails, Michael?
I’ve got a pile of those, too. Smaller pile, but a pile never the less.
Of all the bloat that Flickr has been putting on their service as of late, this one make sense. However I personally prefer picasaweb because of its simplicity and integration with the picasa photo manager app.
Also, dont forget that the picnik service is also available for picasaweb users.
Right now Adobe has nothing to get worried about… but I do look forward to the day that Photoshop is run online just as seamlessly.

yeah this is cool and all, but if a flawless online adobe photoshop would be great
oh and why use this when there are other better free programs like thegimp of picasa
The Gimp may offer more possibilities, but for simple editing Piknik is great. They’re doing a pretty impressive job of integrating everywhere as well with the Facebook App, etc.
I think it’s a good move by Flickr, but someone should acquire them. Soon.
works exactly like facebook app. Working a little slower for me. Nevertheless its a good change for an otherwise dull flickr. When is the video launch?? They are very slow for such a popular website.
What can be the revenue arrangement? I am sure Flickr is paying Picnik for their technology.
Props to picnic!
That would be great addition.
Is this Mr. President a la subtraction.com? http://www.subtraction.com — eerie resemblance.
nice feature! checked it out after readin this post. I was waitin for this since too long ago.
I have been using picinic’s Firefox plug in to have theedit this image link already on Flickr but it rarely worked properly on firefox. Picnic flys on Safari so for no other reason then hot linking form Flickr to Picnic in Safari this is worth it. I do alot of photo editing and find that Picnic is powerful enough to take care of 75% of my needs for the others I have The Gimp and and PS and work.
This is a huge move and I really like the integration it is not over whelming much like the Organizer. If I want ot organize its there. If I want to edit, its there. If I want it to just be like the social Flickr I love its there.
Now i just want there to be a deal where if you get the Pro membership on Flickr they upgrade you to premium in Picnic!
