Picnik Evolves

I somehow missed this one a few weeks ago, but I did just get an email from Picnic about this interesting change, so here goes:

Picnik began life with one purpose: Bring photo editing awesomeness to everyone. We’ve approached this in three distinct ways: First, make it available to everyone, everywhere. Second, make it a joy to use. Third, make it cheap. Today, we’re unveiling significant changes to improve the Picnik experience in all three respects — and it’s all thanks to the feedback, support, and crazed fandom we’ve received from all of you.

Now all Picnik users will have full access to our huge range of edit tools, special effects, fonts and shapes that previously were only available as Premium features. Free users will have this largess supported by ads.

Picnik Photo HistoryFor a 100% ad-free experience and exclusive access to new Advanced editing tools, brand-new infinite Photo History, professional fonts from FontShop, Fullscreen mode, early access to new features, special partner offers, priority support, and much more to come, sign up for Picnik Premium for only $24.95 USD a year.

Picnik was the Windows Weekly software pick of the week for Episode 49.

Have you tried, web based photo editing with Picnik or in general? Somethings really don't belong in the 'cloud'.

^ totally agree. Hey I agreed with weedmonk !! Champagne ! No seriously the overhead created with the remote operations on pictures is unbearable. Picture hosting is OK but editing is painfully slow.

If there was a poster-child for why cloud-computing is overrated, and just generally sucks, Piknik is it.
