There's about a billion pieces of software out there that will help you fix up those bad holiday photos, but should you really need software to do that?

A new online photo editing site, [Phixr.com doesn't think so][1]. Phixr offers most of the commonly used photo editing tools in an easy-to-use web interface. Phixr let's use adjust brightness and saturation, color, sharpen, remove noise and of course red eye reduction.

There's a number of sites out there that offer some of this functionality, but I haven't seen any that are as simple and intuitive as Phixr.

Phixr also offers integration with Flickr, Photobucket and more. I grabbed a photo out of my Flickr stream and Phixr imported it without any troubles. I was then able to edit it and upload it back to Flickr.

Naturally you can upload an image straight from your hard drive, work with it in Phixr and  export it as a .jpg, .png, .gif and more.

If you happen to have a Livejournal account or use Fotolog, Phixr can upload your images as blog posts, just enter your login information.

If you're a professional photograph Phixr will probably leave you wanting, but if photoshop confuses you and you just want to crop an image, get rid of some red eye and adjust a few colors without getting a computer science degree in the process, Phixr will be a welcome relief.
