A truly outstanding list. I've come across a few of these and have desperately been seeking something simple that avoids having to fire up Photoshop for simple tasks. It's all here. Thanks

Thanks...these are some great sites. I have been looking for a free editing photo site and haven't found a good one. I will check these out...
I do not have photo editors on my computer anymore and the one that comes with the camera/computer is not user friendly or that entire great.

I am an online student and a full time employee - I blog about life as a student and in general. I love to have visitors and get some feedback.

Oh, good, layers!
I also need airbrush, clone and stamp.
Do any of them have that?
