Trial Run

It took about five minutes to receive a confirmation email for this free photo editing web site, which seemed like a long time. I was just anxious to test out the features on my own.

Once I confirmed my account, I was able to log in and begin uploading photos.

The editing process is incredibly simple, and will suit most people's basic photo editing needs. Anyone who is accustomed to the more complex settings in Photoshop may not like the limitations of this free web-based photo editing software.
