I am very proud to announce that Snapzilla now features image editing using the fantastic Picnik image editing tools. Users can now edit both the original image or a copy to retouch and enhance their Snapzilla images.

The edit options are on the picture detail page:

Choosing either the "edit original image" or "replace image" options will open the image for editing in the Picnik interface:

After you are finished editing, use the Save Image to Snapzilla button to save the image back to the site. If you change your mind, the Back to Snapzilla button in the upper right corner will take you back without making any changes.

Picnik offers extensive options for both retouching and also editing your images, including cropping, brightness/contrast adjustment, frames, filters and more. If you are a premium Picnik member, you have full access to all the editing features for your Snapzilla images. You do not have to be registered with Picnik to use the editing tools.

Through the Picnik interface, you can also send your edited image to additional sites, including Flickr,Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Picasa Web Albums, and Photobucket.

For more information about Picnik, see their site at Picnik - edit photos the easy way, online in your browser.

Note: to use the photo editing features, you must have Flash installed.

Thank you to everyone who helped to test out the feature during development - their feedback resulted in the addition of editing a copy of the image.

Here is an example - I created this with a sticker, text, and a polaroid frame (they are figures in front of a minature train station)

All my photos go to disk first, then they get uploaded to SL or the online image service I do use. No way to get them into SnapZilla afaik once they go to hard disk and so no way I can use SnapZilla.

You have been able to upload to Snapzilla for almost a year. When you are signed in, it is the top option - Upload Images.

First newb question

I practised and I am liking this Picnik. But the changes don't show when I am looking at thumbnails on the 'My Images' page. Is that right?

OK! My own question has been answered - it takes a couple of minutes for the changes to translate over to the thumbnails. I'll leave my newbishness here in case anyone else wants to ask the same question

Sometimes the browser will cache either the original image or the thumbnail, and it may take a few minutes for you to see the changes. With the image itself, refreshing the page normally helps.
