This is a surprisingly powerful and easy-to-use online image editor.
All implemented in flash. Basic accounts are free.
Too cute for words. But it doesn't do anything about
resizing/resampling pictures before uploading.
True enough.
One cool feature is that you can email the image somewhere after
you've finished editing it. I've been toying with the idea of
implementing a CMS tool that supports image uploads through a pop
account. The idea would be, after you've finished editing your image
in picnic, you would email it to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and the CMS
application would automatically check that mailbox for new images.
Probably some security issues with this though... any thoughts?
Yeah, how do you keep someone from publishing personal enhancement
product ads to your CMS? It should be trivially easy to fake an email
from picnik, or for that matter to just use picnik to spam in the
first place.
I got this idea from backpack http://backpackit.com/
They provide an email api for adding to page content. They get around
the security issue by randomly generating a reasonably long and
complex mailbox name for each page that you create.
ex: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
They also make it easy to regenerate the mailbox name with a single
click if you believe it has been compromised.
