SAN FRANCISCO & SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Flickr (www.flickr.com), one of the world’s leading online photo-sharing communities, today announced a partnership with Picnik.com (www.picnik.com), a ground breaking online photo-editing application, to fully-integrate Picnik’s comprehensive photo-editing tools within Flickr. Flickr members worldwide will now have access to Picnik’s extensive editing features such as resize, crop, change exposure, and red-eye removal, along with Picnik's special effects such as color boost, black and white, sepia, frames, shapes, text and soften, all within the Flickr site. “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,” said Kakul Srivastava, senior director of product management at Flickr. "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." "This integration is a key milestone in achieving the Picnik team’s vision of providing fun, weightless photo editing superpowers wherever you are," said Picnik CEO Jonathan Sposato. “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!" Many Flickr members are already taking advantage of the editing features at Picnik.com, but with this seamless integration it will be much easier for members to quickly access their favorite Picnik tools right within Flickr. Picnik editing tools are now available on the Edit Photo tab within Flickr for editing individual photos or a batch of photos. After transforming their photos, members can add the edited photos to their Flickr account or, if they are a Flickr Pro member, overwrite the original. Additionally, Flickr Pro members will benefit from Picnik's "Perfect Memory" feature which allows you to undo or redo any edit or special effect all the way back to the original version of the picture. The new Picnik editing tools will be available to Flickr members in eight languages including: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Korean and traditional Chinese.
