Photo editing
Sumopaint is no longer worth anything as a free application. Only about 5 filters available unless you purchase. Terrible when compared to everything Pixlr gives you for free. Oh and pixlr doesn’t surround my workspace in ads.
Probably the least feature-rich image editor, but certainly the easiest for the most common image editing task (resizing and cropping) is http://www.ResizeAndCrop.com/ It takes the thinking out of figuring out how to get your image to fit a particular size.
You should do an update to this, call it 8 instead of 7, and add Ribbet.com. They are offering all their tools, including premium services, for free right now.
Nice list of photo editing apps. Some like BeFunky or Fotor really trigger creativity.
I would also recommend giving PhotoMarks a try.
photomarksapp.com
It’s a batch watermarking app, really useful for content protection.
Nice list of photo editors, so glad you mentioned tools like Fotor and PicMonkey. I use them because they work great not only as photo editors, but also as collage makers.
In addition I would also recommend checking out BatchPhoto Espresso.

It’s a free online tool that works great for optimizing images. It can resize, convert, crop or rotate multiple images at the same time.
