Alternatives to Picnik?

[Hilary Shearing]

Anyone got any alternative on line editing suggestions excluding Photoshop, that have been working well for you?

[Dorrena Ortega]

Try the search. Type 'editing programs' into the search box and press enter. There are tons of threads, many recent, on this subject. :-)

As @dmortega said there has been a lot of discussion about this, a previous post http://365project.org/discuss/general/10515/picnik#comments has some good alternatives for online editing. :-)

You will need to look up near the top of the thread to find the sites listed though.

I like using photobucket. They have a pretty wide selection of editing tools. (:

[Hilary Shearing]

Thanks everyone. I'd tried the search but obviously structured the question badly as nothing came up. So will follow up on your various suggestions.

Cheers

Hilary

pixlr.com only exif data doesn't show when you edit on it :(

@mixiewing I use GIMP for Windows, a downloadable, free program, and I think is great. I originally got it because I can't afford Photoshop, and tried Picnik when I heard it had come out. But I didn't like Picnik very much, it's set up was erratic and I was uncomfortable with the fact that I had to upload my photos to edit them. When you upload, you lose information and quality, then when you edit and download to save them, you lose even more. It reminded me of FotoFlexer for Photobucket, and I didn't feel right doing that to my photos (they're not very high quality OOC as it is). With GIMP, you download the program and open the photograph file up right there on your computer, no Internet required, easy install, no payment, and people make brushes for it all the time (if you're into that kind of thing - I'm not a fan of pre-set brushes, or heavy editing for that matter). And you can layer and play with saturation and colour curves and have manual access to work with pretty much everything in the photo's information. :)

Picasa from google - free
Corel Paintshop Pro x4 - like photoshop but much cheaper and has simple edits also

I've been frantically searching the internet for one since this morning. I found LunaPic http://www.lunapic.com/editor/ and FotoFlexer http://fotoflexer.com/
Both seemed to work okay for me but they aren't Picnik. :(
I have PhotoShop but I find it a pain to use. Personal preference, though!
I also downloaded a 30-day free trial of Corel PaintShop Pro X4 but didn't really care for it either. (Too much going on, my brain was screaming for more coffee by the time I gave up, lol)

This is what I was using before I found PicNik.. not the greatest but free. http://pixlr.com/editor/

Panic not! I signed up to Google plus and its all in there (well almost) the basic edits, the effects, the brushes and the text.
I've just spoken to my cousin overseas via google+ where we could speak, photo edit and see what the other person was doing via screen share, quite exciting

Also I have been using photoscape offline for a while now and its also really good. http://photoscape.org/ps/main/index.php

@monika64 Hey, thanks for the heads up about Photoscape! I just tried it out and it worked well for what I wanted to do!
