I was really impressed with Splashup, which is clearly aimed at a serious, professional level. The interface is clean and clear - you don't have to search through ads and gimicks to find what you want. Click on the "Jump right in" link and a new Window pops up. You can import your photos from your PC or from site like Flickr, Facebook and Photobucket. The tools you can use are familiar from other photo editing software such as Photoshop - maybe why I like it because the general operating environment is familiar.
Splashup also has "Splashup Light" a downloadable application which gives you a basic range or editing tools plus a range of easy to use fun tools. I used it to edit this photo - cropped it, resized it, altered the colour a little and then used 'Emboss' to make it look just a bit different. All done quickly and easily by clicking on the various icons.
Picnik also allowed you to access your photos from other social networking sites. Once you had uploaded your photo you could manipulate things such as colour, size, and exposure, or you could crop the photo and correct red-eye. Picnik also offered three options called "Create" - where you could add text and embellishements to your photos, "Collage" - group photos together, and "Fancy Collage" - create scrapbooks, cards etc. These all looked interesting, but when I tried them I couldn't get anything to open. I just kept on getting stuck on the loading icon.
