pixlr Editor – A free online alternative to Photoshop
Sometimes an online web application really hits the mark and makes you think “wow”. Pixlr is that application. At initial glance the layout, feel and commands make you think you’re using Photoshop and the speed is second to none. If we’re all heading for a Google type OS where everything is done in the cloud it’s applications like this that will be pushing the ideology forward to show what can be achieved online.
Amazingly it doesn’t end there the editing suite of tools are beautifully complimented with a series of filter effects and tweaking that are provided by pixlr Express and if that’s not enough how about a standalone application to right-click your desktop images and import them directly into pixlr or a Firefox plugin allowing you to quickly grab web images or shots and tweak them.
This online application really does hit the spot and I am keen to explore more.
