There are times when you find a genuinely useful application which you know might prove useful in the future. For instance, I've often wondered if I could edit and manage this Junky blog from a PDA or similar portable device. Writing the blog would be relatively easy, preparing and editing the photos would not be so easy. What would be required is a portable or online image editor that would enable me to grab a photo from a collection (on or offline), edit as required and then export in the right size and format.

Picnik is an impressive online-only image editor that does exactly this. The basic version is free, too, so you can do all the image editing and management you require, without having to upgrade. If you want to do more with your photos, there is a premium edition. Picnik enables you to grab photos from an online photo collection, such as Flickr, Picasa web albums or even a social networking site such as Facebook.
