I was just reminded about a terrific online photo editor, Picnik at www.picnik.com. Apparently Google, which already owns the very good free editor Picasa, just bought Picnik. Why they need two in their arsenal, I don't know, but it's probably all good for the amateur/hobbyist.
Picnik allows you to upload an image (up to 16 mb) and perform some basic tweaks to it. Cropping and rotating, some exposure control, redeye, color temperature (that's a biggy!) and color saturation, as well as resizing. That's in the basic version. Apparently you can upgrade and get even more features.
Don't get me wrong, it's no Lightroom or Photoshop. But most of us don't need that kind of power all the time, everyday, for every picture. If nothing else, it's fun and a great way to kill a few minutes at work! You can give it a test run with their demo pics, if you prefer.
