Spring RTS Engine

.

none of the hotkeys work :(

personally i prefer this:
http://www.gimp.org/

Nice.

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

http://aviary.com/
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 )

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.

Aviary has something similar like that. I have attached a screen of the firefox extension: Does sortof the same thing
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.

added immediately. pixlr loaded with a blank canvas in milliseconds and this seems extremely convenient.

Yep, same experience here, and it is horribly convenient.

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.

Loading photoshop or any other local editor for resizing an image is annoying. Which is why I like this pixlr thing.

paint.net loads really fast IIRC.

if you only have teh shop for image resizing then you wasted money.

Or bandwidth

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.

~5 seconds for PS7, 10 takes a little longer

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.

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.
