In a comparison of online image editors (those that work solely through web browsers, Photoshop.com is a fairly disappointing entry compared to some others.
Among the fastest and most fully featured I've found is Pixlr. One of the Flash-based editors that seem to be one of the few reasons why Flash needs to hang around, Pixlr's interface looks very much like an older incarnation of Photoshop for Windows.
It supports advanced features such as layers, layer masks, blending options, cloning, filters, distort, vector type, and a surprisingly rich right-clickiness (contextual menus). (Side note: Pixlr's interface is so like Photoshop that we wonder how long until Adobe takes note.)
Pixlr is free to use, imports and saves to Flickr and other online sharing sites and social media apps, as well as to and from the desktop. You can load, edit and save images to and from your desktop without creating a Pixlr account. For most users, this may be more than enough image editing power, comparable to the desktop version of Photoshop Elements.
