As proud citizens of Flickr-opolis, long have we yearned to be able to edit our photos right within Flickr. The hassle of the constant back-and-forth between Photoshop and Flickr, uploading and re-uploading, often meant (for us, at least) that some photos never got the TLC they needed.

Well, we all know that would never do.

But now, thankfully, two awesome forces have come together: Flickr, thou most awesome site of photo storage goodness, and Picnik, thou equally awesome site of online image editing gravy (imagine sticking Photoshop into a website. Yeah, it’s like that.)

As the folks at Flickr explain in their announcement about the partnership, now – whenever you want it – clicking a little Edit button above your photos will bring up a neato photo editing screen, powered by Picnik. You can fiddle with the basics (cropping, contrast, exposure, etc.) as well as slap nifty filters and effects (B&W, sepia, film-grain, and more) onto your photos, anytime and anywhere. No leaving Flickr, no Photoshop required.

Man, we’re living in an awesome world….
