## Overview

- **Who it's for**: Casual users and hobbyist photographers, including Flickr members, who wanted to touch up and enhance photos without installing desktop software.
- **What you get**: A browser-based photo editor for cropping, resizing, red-eye removal, and basic exposure/color correction, plus creative effects, filters, and collage tools. A free tier covered the basics, while a paid Picnik Premium subscription added more effects, fonts, and removed ads. It integrated directly with photo services like Flickr, Facebook, and Picasa for importing and exporting images.
- **How it works**: Users uploaded a photo from their computer or imported one from a linked service such as Flickr, applied edits and effects through the web interface, then saved the result locally or exported it back to their photo-sharing account.
