Lexmark and Picnik have teamed up to make it even easier to edit photos before you print! A new “Picnik-ready” toolbar for Internet Explorer and Firefox is available at toolbar.lexmark.com.

Once you’ve downloaded the toolbar, a click on the Photos icon will bring up the pictures from the web site you’re currently on within Picnik so you can quickly make the edits you want.

We’ve had a lot of fun with the new Lexmark toolbar and hope you (and the millions of Lexmark users around the world) enjoy it too. Happy printing!

Yep, we’re a day early but we Santa just couldn’t wait. Check out the new (free!) Christmas goodies on Picnik. Now every photo can be a Christmas photo! Add Santa hats, artfully wrapped presents and sparkling ornaments to your favorite picture. There are a bunch of new holiday fonts too. Use them while you can, because once Santa heads back to the North Pole he’s taking the Christmas goodies with him.

HOORAY!! Today Picnik has been officially integrated with Box.net as their default photo-editing experience, as part of the launch of ‘OpenBox’. As you may already know, Box.net provides disk space in the “cloud” to more than one million users, allowing complete file access and sharing from anywhere with no additional software. Clearly many tens of millions of these files are photos, and Picnik has been integrated as an inline experience within the work flow of Box.net so that users can make their photos as awesome as possible. Now with a single click on Box.net, users can invoke Picnik, as well as a number of other best-of-breed apps sich as Echosign, Autodesk, Zoho, ThinkFree, Scribd, Zazzle, Mimeo, Twitter,mimeio and Myxer.

We think this integration is a great example of how leveraging the Picnik API can add massive value to a partner’s existing set of services. But don’t take my word for it, see for yourself!
