Redo pics in a flash online with Picnik.com; it's a snap

I've been toying with www.picnik.com, a beta site that makes online digital photo editing a snap.

Upload a photo from your computer (including Macs) or a website and you can do the basics: Tool around with colors (I made elephants turn blue), get rid of red eye, crop, rotate, resize.

What's hot: It's online (no download), free (so far), easy to figure out and handy if you don't have a photo editing tool on your computer. Plus it's fun to play with.

What's not: Flickr is its preferred website and provides the smoothest interface, if you're working from an online photo site. I tried to save my blue pachyderms to Shutterfly and it was a bust.
