Cute, too bad it's closed-source and dependent on their server.

this one is similar, but it also has other online editing tools.
Unfortunately it is still based on their servers, but I think it is possible to save things to your own pc as well (.egg files if Im not wrong

Re: Don't have photoshop?
Pixlr is really nice, and it's setup is similar to a stripped down photoshop. Also, it has a firefox plugin. Right click on an image, edit with pixlr. Saves me a lot of tiem when posting springinfo news.
Re: Don't have photoshop?
Aviary has something similar like that. I have attached a screen of the firefox extension:

Although I dont use it much, as the screen captuing thing is slow like sh*t: the cursor is half a screen away from your pointer if you move it a bit faster.
Does sortof the same thing

added immediately. pixlr loaded with a blank canvas in milliseconds and this seems extremely convenient.Forboding Angel wrote:Also, it has a firefox plugin. Right click on an image, edit with pixlr. Saves me a lot of tiem when posting springinfo news.

Re: Don't have photoshop?
Yep, same experience here, and it is horribly convenient.
Re: Don't have photoshop?
So is Open Location -> [paste URL] in Gimp. I'm personally a bit dubious on the whole cloud-computing / web-based application craze.

Or Copy Image in Firefoxy, then paste in your image editor.

Re: Don't have photoshop?
Loading photoshop or any other local editor for resizing an image is annoying. Which is why I like this pixlr thing.
Re: Don't have photoshop?
paint.net loads really fast IIRC.
if you only have teh shop for image resizing then you wasted money.

Re: Don't have photoshop?
well, I just made a new avatar in pixlr, it worked great. I wouldn't use it for any serious image editing but for slapping up a diagram or something on the web its fine.
Its missing 1 killer feature IMO.. integration with image hosting sites. If I could right click, edit in pixlr, save to photobucket and paste a url to it just like that, that'd complete the deal for me.

I use irfanview for anything light weight. It is light weight fast, and pretty nifty.

Re: Don't have photoshop?
Wow, great link, super convenient. My only question is do they store all your work on their server. I don't know if I'd feel save doing any real work on it. Other then that though it's great for a quicky.
Re: Don't have photoshop?
I don't see any reason at all why you would need to use an online photo editing application. You have to upload your picture from your computer anyway, and then re-download it just to upload it again to a image sharing site.
I love irfanview on windows, it is really quick especially for just a quick crop or something small.
I'm sure there are other lighter graphics applications than gimp for linux, but it loads in a couple seconds, i create my image from clipboard or screenshot, and edit it quicker than i could upload anything to some online program.
