Brad Andersohn has given us a new "Picnik-style" photo editor. Meet iPiccy.com (picnik's twin). I tried it out and it's so much like Picnik; the only thing I couldn't find was collages and slideshows but those can be done on many other programs.
Try it at www.ipiccy.com I think you'll like it.
In a frantic scramble last week to find a replacement for the Picnik.com closure on April 19th, I had written a post featuring 7 different FREE photo and graphic editing sites.
However, some many of my online friends were hoping to actually find a replacement editor that was similar or at least closer to the same look and feel of Picnik’s site. Is there such a site?
Well here it is! iPiccy.com is the closest you’re going to find to Picnik.com. The look and feel are more similar than any other site I’ve seen. iPiccy might actually be Picnik’s twin brother. Once you explore the site, you’ll see what I mean. iPiccy is 100% free, no registration required, and offers many of the same features and benefits that Picnik does and more.
Grabbing any image or photo is easy. Just click the appropriate button and GO! The editing options are endless and the ability to create some really cool customized graphics and images will be limited only by your creativity and of course your time and schedule. The workspace on iPiccy will be easy to navigate, especially for Picnik users, and will feel just like your old Picnik stomping grounds.
There are multiple effects with single click options at your fingertips. These will make your photos and images really “POP” and if you use a combination of the wide variety of tools and options available, the possibilities will be endless.
In literally minutes, you’ll be able to adjust your contrast, auto-correct colors, customize images, fix blemishes, remove red-eye, lighten and darken graphics, and even add text overlays, reflections, shadows and more. Having the ability to utilize some really cool effects without being a graphics designer makes iPiccy one of my TOP CHOICE recommendations and a great replacement for Picnik.
Here’s a sample we just put together for a Valentine show promotion:
We added a border,
created a matting,
went with a sepia effect,
added a thick pencil sketching,
made it black and white,
re-sized it keeping constraints,
added a drop shadow border,
dropped some text at the bottom and saved to the desktop.
We then emailed it as a .jpg attachment to the event promoter.
This all took about 3 minutes from beginning to end.Check out iPiccy.com and compare it to Picnik. If you’ve never used Picnik.com, then you’ll have discovered a very cool free online photo and image editing site that you’re going to enjoy. If you have used Picnik, and feel as though you’ll be losing a best friend come April, I can promise that iPiccy will make the hurt a whole lot less. In fact, I think some of you will like iPiccy better than Picnik. Happy creating, enjoy~

Wow. This looks like a great photo editor. Thanks for sharing.
I love the fact that here on AR folks are so willing to share things like this...I gotta check this out!
I just tried it out and it works GREAT....Thanks for sharing......
Toni - Thanks for passing along! Time to check it out. Have a great day my friend.
YAY...thanks for reblogging this Toni. I hope it's a good replacement. Have a wonderful Tuesday!
Thanks for the re-blog Toni. I think we are all in a panic when some site goes down or there are some huge technological changes out there that affect how we do business.
That does look like a great photo editor! Thanks to Brad for finding, and Toni for reposting this! I will have to give it a try!
Oh, I usually make reblogs "no comments" and I see that I forgot on this one. It's interesting to see all the comments--thank you - but please hop over to Brad and say thanks.
Toni,
Thanks for re-blogging this. I'm trying it out, hopefully it isn't this low in creating effects in further attempts.

Missed Brad's blog post so glad that you reblogged it Toni. Will definitely try it out!
Toni,
What amazes me is how much free there is, and we all have become accustomed to that. So when someone charges, we become outraged. At some point, we are going to have to pay for "free" or are we already paying by being bombarded with ads and our loss of privacy? Ron and i have come to the conclusion that we would rather pay for a search engine than have ads thrust upon us. A
