Top 10 Online Photo Editing 2011

10. Pixenate


Pixenate is an online photo editing service that offers just the basics. It has a very simple interface, making it easy to find all the effects and tools available. The color adjustments and effects are easy to find, but some of them are a little difficult to use. For example, features like hue and saturation require you to adjust the percentage of the effect. Having to gauge the effect you want to a precise number can make it difficult to use these tools efficiently. Also, compared to other online photo editing services, Pixenate takes a longer time to apply any edits or adjustments to your photos. Overall, this is a less efficient service because you will be spending more time not only adjusting effects but also waiting for Pixenate to apply the effect to your photo.
Pixenate offers editing tools, such as crop, rotate, red eye and teeth whitening. There are a few adjustments available, including contrast and brightness. All of these tools can be used to give your photos a professional look. The tools are found on Pixenate’s tool bar. Pixenate also offers what they call “fun effects,” where you can add text, frames, and stickers that will enhance the look of your photos. Pixenate offers all the editing tools you will need, but it is lacking a little in effects. There are effects such as black and white, sepia and textures available, but common effects like tint, invert and sketch are not available with Pixenate. These omissions are disappointing because these effects are available in most of the other photo editing services we reviewed.

The only way to import photos to the service is from your computer. This can be a downside to the service when you compare it other photo editing services that offer options for importing your photos from photo sharing and social media sites. When it comes to exporting your edited photo, Pixinate allows you to export to your computer or to Flicker. Pixenate also has some options for printing your photos and making your images into unique gifts such as bags, shirts, mugs and mouse pads. These gifts give you a fun way to take your edited photos and create something personable for you or someone special.
An email address is listed on their site, so you can contact Pixenate if you have a question about the service. Compared to other services, the support here available is a little lacking, but Pixenate is a straightforward online photo editing service. You might not need any help in figuring it out.

Summary:
Pixenate is a fair service if you need nothing but the basics. The tools and effects available are minimal, but they will still give your photos a professional quality. Pixenate's response time is slower compared to other online photo editing services. It takes more time for Pixenate to apply an effect or adjustment to your photo than other services. Pixenate also uses percentages to gauge the effect you want to apply, and this makes it difficult for you to use the effects efficiently. Pixenate only allows you to import photos from your computer, but offers a couple more options to export your photos. The support for Pixenate is lacking, but the uncomplicated interface likely won't cause you any problems.

9. PiZap

The basic editing tools, such as rotate, flip and zoom, are available right on the workspace. Although these features are not labeled, the symbols make it easy for you to figure what the tools are if you are a little familiar with photo editing. If you are unfamiliar with the symbols used for the tools on the workspace, hover your curser over the symbol and a pop-up bubble appears explaining what the tool does.
The editing features available from PiZap are minimal. The service offers only a few of the basic tools you will need, including rotate, flip and zoom. And it's missing even a few of the basic tools, such as cropping or resizing tools, which are offered in most other photo editing services. PiZap does have features that allow you to adjust the hue, saturation, and brightness of your photos. While these features are useful for enhancing your photos, they are difficult to find and hard to use efficiently. They are hidden away in the effects and filter tab when it would be more straightforward if they were available directly on the workspace with the other editing tools.
PiZap's focus seems to be on the design service side of things, offering countless stickers you can add to your photos. You'll find everything from talking bubbles to shapes, and there are even face-editing stickers available such as hats, glasses and even hair to truly take your photo and make it something fun and crazy and unique.

Summary:

8. Sumo Paint 

Sumo Paint box shot 
 
Sumo Paint has an impressive looking interface that is pretty simple to use, once you are familiar with where things are. The tool bar makes it easy to find and use the most basic tools such as crop and resize, as well as some more advanced tools like the lasso and wand. Navigation can get a little confusing, though, when you need to find an effect beyond the basics on the tool bar. Sumo Paint does offer a good number of tools and effects for you to use, including tint and black and white, making Sumo Paint one of our top ten choices in online photo editing services.
You have to search through a number of tabs in order to find the effect you need. These tabs are labeled with terms that you might be unfamiliar to many people, and applying an effect to your photo is not as simple as a click of the mouse. When you apply features like the hue and saturation adjustments, you will need to use a slider tool to adjust the effect to be applied to your photo. For anyone not familiar with photo editing, this process can be a little frustrating. Once you become more familiar with what Sumo Paint has to offer, there are a number of ways to take advantage of the effects and tools.
Sumo Paint only offers the option to import to and export from your computer. This gives Sumo Paint a disadvantage when compared to other online photo services that integrate with social media and photo sharing sites. Although, Sumo Paint does allow you to email your photos, giving you an easy way to share your photos with loved ones.
Sumo Paint offers helpful answers to questions through their FAQs page. There are also tutorials and a forum page available if you are looking for further assistance. Unfortunately there's no way to contact Sumo Paint directly with specific questions or concerns. However, because the information on their website is rather comprehensive, you likely won't need to contact the company directly.

Summary:
Sumo Paint has plenty of tools and effects available for you to use to edit your photos. Finding the specific effects you need, however, can get a little confusing. The tools and effects offered from Sumo Paint do bring a great look to your photos, and it is a good service to use once you get familiar with the layout. There is plenty of help online from Sumo Paint, so if you do have a problem, you'll likely be able to find a solution.

These animations add a whole new level to your photos and they are not available in any of the other online photo editing services we reviewed.
The interface for LunaPic is fairly straightforward. The layout is what makes it a little difficult to work with. There is a lot going with ads and examples, especially on the home page.
