Picnik, a popular online picture editing site was acquired by Google a few months back. The acquisition was huge and fans had big expectations from Google as well as the Picnik Team. Today, Google has integrated Picnik with Picasa Web Albums and now you could edit any of your pictures with just a single click.

All of Picnik’s rich and powerful editing tools are now available to Picasa Web Album users. The Edit Tab now has a new option, “Edit in Picnik”. Tapping on Edit in Picnik pops up the Picnik website with the picture preloaded and makes editing really easy. The Picnik web app lets you do anything from cropping to increasing the brightness of the picture, all on the web. The edited picture could be saved in your Album or could be used to replace the older one.

Sadly, Picnik uses some Flash elements which makes iPad users unhappy. Though Picnik is now owned by Google, it is still present on Flickr and Flickr users could still use the popular picture editing tool.
