Some thoughts on Pixlr - since saying "it sucked" would be rude and counterproductive, I'll go with "If I wanted something that complex and hard to work with, I'd go with GIMP." The controls were difficult to use, the response time was poor and the thing locked up IE twice. None of those are things to recommend a picture editor to me. Your mileage may vary.
On the other hand, Picnik was simple and easy to use. And I mean simple. There were fewer options there than I'd ever seen in a photo editor. However, for my purposes that is not a bad thing. It did what I wanted it to do easily and quickly. It also undid things just as easily and quickly.
Unaltered image
Picnik altered image (more deserty)
No image from Pixlr because I found it just too damned hard to manage.
Not a dramatic change, but I messed with for as long as I was comfortable spending on this project. Picnik could do some things that worked for me. Will I use it again? Probably not. The software I have access to on my computers does what I need it to do (and does everything Picnik and Pixlr can do).
Oh, I realized I didn't address the social media sharing aspect. Honestly, I didn't look as I have no intention of using the online editors. And if I did I'd save the image to my pc and load it that way. Sorry.
