Picture2Life's tagline is "The easiest way to edit your pictures online" This sounded like it might really mean "dumbed down, lightweight online photo editor." But we found that not to be the case at all: The site offers plenty of editing and special effect options—including collage and animation features. However, the implementation of these features left something to be desired.


The list of editing tools is pretty ample:

• Brightness
• Color
• Contrast
• Crop
• Flip
• Gamma
• Grayscale
• Hue (just a monochrome tint)
• Invert
• Resize
• Rotate
• Sepia
• Shadow (drop shadow)
• Watermark

And special effects include the following:

• Emboss
• Gaussian blur (didn't work in our tests in IE7 or Firefox 2)
• Jitter
• Oil Paint
• Picture Text (handy for titling, but you can't choose the text size)
• Pixelate
• Sharpen (we're not sure why this is in the second group of editing effects, but like blur, it didn't work on our test image either in IE7 or Firefox 2.)
• Smoothen (not sure how this is different from 'blur,' but no matter, it didn't work)
• Swirl
• Time warp (I guess because it could make someone look old and puckered), and
• Water
