The free image editing option we suggest seems to change. First, there was Picnik – available through several online photo storage sites (e.g., Flickr) and eventually purchased by one service (Google if I remember correctly). Our next recommendation was Aviary. A form of this service is still available through some other services, but the original development effort has been curtailed. At this point, our recommendation is FotoFlexer. I understand you cannot complain about free. it just turns out that free is a moving target.
