Full integration of the Picnik online photo editor within Yahoo!'s Flickr will make it easier for users to touch up their favourite shots.

And is Picnik CEO Jonathan Sposato excited about this? You bet!

"This integration is a key milestone in achieving the Picnik team's vision of providing fun, weightless photo editing superpowers wherever you are," he said.

"Now, Flickr members can experience Picnik's photo-editing awesomeness firsthand without ever having to leave Flickr. We already love seeing what our users can do, and we know that combining powerful, intuitive photo editing with Flickr's photo sharing community will encourage even greater creativity and expression!"

Flickr senior director of product management Kakul Srivastava was more measured: "Flickr continues to build on its vision to be the 'eyes of the world', and by bringing Picnik's rich editing tools to Flickr's global community we are enhancing the sharing and discovery of what people see and experience through photos."

"Providing the ability to edit directly within Flickr is an important step in offering our 20 million members around the globe a complete photo experience."

Editing tools provided by Picnik include resize, crop, change exposure, red-eye removal, colour changes, and frames. They are available on Flickr's Edit Photo tab, and can be applied to a single image or a batch of photos. Flickr Pro members are able to undo edits and changes right back to the original version.
