Online Photo Editors

Below are three online photo editors.  Try each out and compare and contrast what you like about each.  Upload and manipulate at least one photo on each.  Discuss features it offers such as red eye, crop, rotate, contrast, brightness, auto fix/enhance and how easy it is to use.  Can you easily transfer images to other places such as Flick and/or Facebook?
