@azzam is speaking about my ‘P.S.’ in the post, not flickr photo editing software that’s already been built.

Picnik (http://www.picnik.com) is doing some some of these things to a degree and it’s built in Flex which could easily ported to Apollo. With Adobe’s online version of Photoshop, which I believe will have a free version, on the horizon it will be interesting to see how they generate revenue from it. Maybe using some similar tactics you mentioned.

How about add a function: embedding Google text-ads in photos? since we got lots of titles, tags, descriptions on each photo/page which provide enough contextual info.

Might be good as a low end photoshop plugin- get a partnership with adobe so they can bundle a free version with the product and make some upsell gold.

Interesting idea. The trick would be introducing features that allowed the user to do something that isn’t available through the editing software they are currently using. I’m thinking something along the lines of making cards, stationary, playing card decks, etc. would be much more attractive to potential users then red-eye tools and cropping.
