That's too bad. I hope they will integrate all of its premium features to their freeware desktop image editing client Picasa, currently it does only offer some of the basic Picnik stuff. The integration alone will boost Picasa's image enhancing capabilities.

I'm looking forward...

Never even heard of other names than Picnik.
