    How many people are buying (not pirating) Photoshop to make basic changes to their photos? Maybe Photoshop Elements (if it still exists), but other than that I don't think this would really damage the Creative Suite all that much as they're quite different markets. All the people I know who might use a web-based image editor have either been struggling along with Paint or pirated Photoshop at some point.

      adobe already has photoshop.com for web-based image editing, so i doubt picnik changing hands has any affect on them.
