would like to use a messy border or filmstrip border without changing the image itself using a filter

auto-white balance by selecting a neutral grey rather than the Enhance > Balance "magic" that doesn't work very well. otherwise, manual color temperature adjustment. thanks!

It is very helpful to be able to clone one part of a photo onto a different area of the same photo.

instead of a cancel button that take you back to the main edit tool bar. you need an undo button to undo the edit you just tried but stay within the same tool or edit technique.

Provide a feature that gives you choices of various textures.

Being able to add our logo on top of the photo without having to do that in another program and then uploading it here would be great!

Please provide a way to create rounded corners on photos!

Facial editing is more complicated than 'blemish fix' and needs layers of smudging, cloning, and highlighting.

Before clicking "save", let us see the original and the edited version side by side, so we can "cancel" if we don't like it.

Add local contrast
Add softness + local softness

Really this is nothing compared to picnik. Still has a long way to go...

Hi there, one of my favorite features of Mailchimp and the now defunct Picnik was the ability to add a drop shadow incredibly quickly to an image lifted from our website. It saved a lot of time. Previously I would have to add these drop shadows manually in photoshop/save and upload a new image specifically designed for email campaigns. For an email with several images, this could add an hour to my workflow. With picnik, it was done in mere seconds. Is there any plans to bring this feature to Aviary?

picnic had a huge list to choose from for a simple copyright over the photos...and you could flip it.
Otherwise Aviary seems good!

for the effects/filters, many of them come with border/frame. This should be made optional because not all app wants border.

Imagine a user in Yelp's mobile app.

They take a photo of their meal, add a caption, touch up the photo (assuming Aviary is integrated).

On save, a transparent Yelp logo gets automatically applied to the photo, and posted to the web.

Yelp now gets the benefit of having every photo watermarked. This can be beneficial to any company where photos can easily be stolen (e.g. product photos on an e-commerce site)

Doing a simple edge blur for a quick tilt-shift effect is a key component for simulating old cameras. Do a full Gaussian blur on image, then mask-blend a circular region of the original image back in the center. Easy to do with your existing filter code.
Anyway, thanks for this awesome API!

Allow for fading the effects, make them opaque, and the borders optional.
