The migration of applications from the destop to the web has really begun to heat up over the past several years. E-mail led the pack of applications making the shift and, like a lot of people, I’ve switched a good portion of my day-to-day work directly to web applications. But for lack of a suitable web-based alternative, there are a few desktop applications I’ve been unable to replace: iTunes, Skype, iMovie and Photoshop.
It now appears as if I may be able to scratch that last item off my list. Picnik is a web-based photo editing application that seems destined to take over a good many chores I’ve been handling with Photoshop for many years: resizing, cropping, color correcting, and performing basic manipulations of images.
Though it won’t replace the most of the higher-end functionality Photoshop excels at, Picnik has a dead-simple UI that is beautiful to look at and, for most people, might be all they need. Best of all, it’s free.
