Fotoflexer may be my personal favorite among the many online photo editing tools, but Flickr has chosen Seattle-based Picnik (profile) to handle the long requested photo editing feature for Flickr users.
Currently, you can rotate photos on Flickr, but the editing stops there. When the new tools launch, users will be able to edit photos more extensively using the Picnik Flash based tools (see our review here).
The deal has been signed and implementation will occur sometime in the next few months, Flickr told me yesterday. Flickr users will have an edit button on their photo pages. Clicking on it will import the image into Picnik for editing; when finished, it can be sent back to Flickr.
Basically, the integration is not much different than most of Picnik’s competitors who use Flickr’s API. But the crucial difference is that the edit feature will be highlighted on Flickr itself, pushing Flickr’s 15 million registered users towards Picnik.
