Add a regular upload button (if you can). And maybe you should provide some sample images, that way I can start playing around right away without searching my hardware for a image.<p>And this one is a deal breaker: when I exported the image it was absolutely useless. The quality has dropped substantially, rendering it (pun intended :P) useless for further use.<p>edit: could you write about how you made all this? Just a quick summary would suffice.

Looks cool, and your app might be landing at just the right time, considering Picnik is disappearing in a few weeks. Lots of people are looking for something just like this.<p>As a user though, you lost me at the first screen. I run my browser at full screen, so dragging a photo over is a bit of a hassle. Plus, I'm not ready to trust your app just yet with one of my photos - is my photo being uploaded to your servers? Is it staying client-side? I could go looking for a photo that I don't mind uploading but... meh, too much hassle. Adding a couple of example images would let me play with the app immediately.<p>I like your app philosophy, though. I look forward to seeing the app evolve.

If you have to tell people how to pronounce a name then there's a problem.<p>If the name is a homophone for a common word or term then it makes it somewhat confusing when people talk about it. (Try having a conversation about the Ruby database gem Sequel).<p>Bottom line is you're better off having the name pronounced as it looks: pik-tor. It's distinctive and less confusing.

Fornicating hell! Thanks for showing me what's possible with HTML5 and JS. I am inspired to do stuff like this myself now.<p>No chance you will release the source?

Very nice job. The only thing is that it I had to click the text name of the effect to turn the effect off. That was a bit confusing at first.

This is fantastic. I need something exactly like this most of the time. To be honest, I'd pay for this in the Mac Appstore. Nice job amigo.

Wow, what an elegant and simple to use app. It feels a tiny bit sluggish though (or may be its just my firebug pulling me down)

I like it. Care to elaborate on what libraries/framework/tech you used?
