Picnik One Point Oh!
Picnik has officially launched! We’re proudly taking our beta banner down and throwing it on the ceremonial bonfire. We’re also introducing our Premium Feature Stream which will be available for the super-affordable price of $24.95 for a whole year. This gets you get complete access to special edit tools, effects, shapes, fonts, with a whole bunch more just around the corner. To celebrate, Picnik Premium is free and open for everyone to preview this week! There’s also a ton of new features, so here’s what’s new:
Photobucket Support: Our mission of connecting Picnik to anywhere your photos might be continues and today we add Photobucket to the list of major photo sharing sites like Flickr, Picasa Web Albums, and Facebook, which you can get photos from or save your photos to!
Effect Painting: Many of you have asked to apply an effect to precise areas of a photo. Now you can with Effect Painting! Choose a Black and White, Sepia, Boost, Soften, Tint, or Pixelate effect and click the new Paint Brush button. You can brush in the original through the effect or check the Reverse effect box to do it backwards: just paint in the effect where you want it.
New Effects: Lots of these! There’s Holga-ish, Night Vision, CinemaScope, Invert, Cross Process, Focal Pixelate, Pencil Sketch, and Pixelate, all under the newly organized Effects section in Create. In fact, the whole Create section has been reorganized, with three new sections…
Shape Tool: Add shapes, symbols, speech bubbles, hearts, arrows, paw prints and the odd spaceship to your photo. You can choose your color, spin it around, and make it as big as you want to shape up that shot!
Touch-Ups Tool: Whiten teeth or remove blemishes with these tools. Put your best face forward!
New Frames: We’ve moved Frames to their own section, and have added Museum Matte and Polaroid to the ranks of Border, Rounded Edges, and Drop Shadow.
Stay tuned as we open the floodgates on our Picnik Premium Feature Stream!
We’d also like to thank all our early users, beta testers, emailers, bug reporters, criticism senders, fan mailers, Facebook hordes, and word-spreaders who have helped us get to this point. You’re the best a company like ours could have hoped for, and we’re looking forward to continuing to provide you with the very best photo editor out there.

Congrats. Yay for pricing. I was going to say that it’s bad form not to announce your pricing. Now I should get back into Picnik and send you the rest of my feedback. :-)

I love the new effects and features! I used the text tools to put a watermark on my photos. I just wich that somehow it could be free or at least free to the earlier users who have a membership, like myself!

I think the new features are pretty awesome and I was a beta tester and it was great to see them come along and appear!!!
I use Picnik for the all the graphics on my blog because theres nothing that comes close.
Great Work!!!
October 4th, 2007 at 8:10 pm
Yeah! I can pay for a web service!!
Oh wait, what?
Yes, that’s right, I’m excited to pay for the premium service. That speaks volumes about how great the product is!

[...] Picnik has reached a 1.0 launch after giving a free, full beta preview while they developed. I discovered last night that they have plugins for Firefox (and IE, but blech) that allow you to grab photos and screenshots with a right-click and send them straight to Picnik.com to edit. Wow. [...]

After discovering the Flickr group and digging through the photos of other great photographers, it dawned on me that I’m dying to know which effects they used and in what succession.
Any plans for being able to “save” or “share’ settings?
October 19th, 2007 at 10:38 pm
That’s a great idea Jake. We’ve been kicking around some ways to do that but haven’t finalized it yet. What would you think if when you saved a photo with Picnik, say to Flickr, and made it public then anyone who opened it in Picnik could undo all the way back to the beginning and replay the edits, just like you can?
Is there a better way to accomplish what you want?
October 29th, 2007 at 6:29 am
Hi,
I’m wondering if you’ll allow downloads of entire albums (especially from Flickr!).
Also, if you can make it automatic it’d be really keen.
October 29th, 2007 at 6:30 am
And I mean downloads to Facebook.

Cool tools, Effect Painting - very interest :)
