Sumopaint: There's something familiar about this online image editor

The world may not really need another online image editing application. After all, there's already Picnik, Adobe Photoshop Express, FotoFlexer, and dozens of others. One of our favorites is Splashup, which has a very desktop application-like feel. And for the life of us, we can't decide if Sumopaint is just a simple Splashup clone or just an incredibly similar web app.

The two web apps have extraordinarily similar user interfaces and you can apply a similar array of effects to images you upload. You can also import images from online various online accounts, although Splashup is the clear winner with the ability to import images from Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, and other web sites, while Sumopaint only supports Snap.

Check out an image of the two apps side by side after the jump and you be the judge. Separated at birth, or imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? After all, both look a bit like PhotoShop or the Gimp.
