Coolest “Web Based” Image Editors

// March 10th, 2010 // 1 Comment » // Cool Links, Cool Websites, Design, Design Resources, Featured, For Geeks, Graphic Design, Graphics, I recommend, The Best of.., Useful, art, free, web tools, webdesign


Here is a list of web-based image editors that I found to be the coolest.
Web based editors allow you to make changes to an image from anywhere without having to install applications for example when you are not at home or on your laptop. Or for support techs like me — I work with Financial Advisors helping them develop their own websites and most of them have no use for photoshop and asking them to download a program like Infranview just to crop or resize one picture for their website would be illogical -  so I’m always looking for easy to use web based image editors to link them to…which brings me to why I researched this topic and wrote this post. :) I hope some of you also find it useful.

SumoPaint

sumo-paint
which can be used as a paint program and photo editing program, and which was recently upgraded with a claimed 100-plus improvements, and a totally renovated web site to make it easier, faster, and more attractive, and several new tools. Layer FX, Change Layers With Blending Modes, change layer alpha, Shapes Tool, Brushes, Ink Brush Tool, Gradient Tool, Shape Trails, Zooming, Symmetry Tool , Color Picker, Swatches, Smudge Tool, and Custom Shape Tool. Sumo Paint’s user interface is Mac-like in a Photoshop-ish sort of way. Check out the Sumo Paint user manual here. Sumo Paint works with any browser but you must have the version 9 Flash player plugin installed, which you probably already do.  http://Sumopaint.com

Fotoflexer

Another free online image editor I liked a lot was Fotoflexer, which is impressively fast and slick, with no registration or login necessary. Fotoflexer doesn’t have as many tools as Sumo Paint or some of the other online image editors I tried, and they’re laid out in a non-orthodox configuration, but it’s pretty intuitive, fast and responsive, and the adjustments refresh in real time so you can finely tune your enhancements visually as you move the sliders. Fotoflexer is also integrated with social networking sites such as Flickr, Picasa, Photobucket, Facebook, MySpace and more. It comes in handy when you’re looking for some quick common photo-editing needs such as cropping, resizing, and rotating. http://fotoflexer.com/

Picnik

Picnik is an image editor that was recently purchased by Google. Picnik lets you quickly edit all your photos online. Picnik has a fast startup and no login hassle, but I didn’t find the free version of this one up to par with the others. You would want to upgrade to the premium version, which costs $2.08 to $24.95 a month. Picnik is directly connected with many photo sharing sites like Myspace, Flickr and Facebook which is cool. http://www.picnik.com/

MyPictr

MyPictr is basically just a picture resizing service, which allows you to create a custom profile avatar for your favorite social network. You don’t need to install any programs: just upload your picture, resize it online and download it. MyPictr gives you enough time (approximately 10 minutes) to download your picture, then your file is automatically removed. MyPictr is free to use. http://mypictr.com/

Pixer.us


If you’re looking for an application to meet your simple photo-editing needs, check out pixer.us – a free, web-based photo editor. It has an intuitively simple interface which I really liked plus your basic yet useful photo-editing features like cropping, resizing, and rotating. It also has some color adjustment options such as Saturation, Brightness, and Contrast adjustments. You can save your work as one of the four popular digital image files (PNG, JPG, GIF, or BMP). PIXER.US requires no sign-up or account to use. Simply access the site, upload an image from a local computer, and start editing. When the editing is done, download the finished product. There are however, a couple of features missing. For example, I couldn’t find a way to import images from online photo-sharing sites such as Flickr or Photo-bucket. The program itself has all the basic features and functions usually found in this sort of app. These include features such as “rotate”, “flip”, “resize” and “crop”. The “resize” feature is nice, with a slider to make a picture bigger or smaller which I like because my clients don’t usually know what pixel sizes to choose but the slider would help make resizing more logical for them. http://pixer.us/

OnlinePhotoTool


OnlinePhotoTool is a service that uses Java to edit and save your images, screenshots and photos online. You can use photos and images from your hard drive as well as pictures on the Internet. If you want to save your images online you need to register. You can download photos from the internet using their Onlinephototool.com import bookmarklet. The editing tools seem typical — you can resize, crop, rotate, flip, paint as well as use other advanced tools. The site is simple, direct and functional.  http://www.onlinephototool.com/

pic2color

pic2color is a tool that helps you extract colors from any images. It helps you creates sophisticated color schemes from images effortlessly and offers seamless integration with GenoPal Online for individual color exploration. Users can also integrate it into their website by posting some HTML code. Free to use. http://www.pic2color.com/

picmagick


PicMagick – Simple yet Powerful Online Photo Editor http://www.picmagick.com/

Flauntr.com


a unique online imaging service that combines photo editing, printing, sharing and storage in a single seamless service. FlauntR by Fotodesk, is a digital effects website more then just an online image editor. Flauntr allows you to upload images from your computer or Flickr account and then add fun special effects. Create avatars, MySpace comments, or digital scrapbooks. http://www.flauntr.com/

Cellsea

Cellsea is a site that lets you rotate, resize, and crop photos to get the exact composition and size you need. There are over 15 ways to correct color, exposure, and lighting problems. You just need to click and drag your mouse to ripple, circle, sphere and curl the photo. It is also possible to add professional-looking blur effects to your photos. You can load from your PC or from an URL. Free to use. http://www.cellsea.com/java-cellsea/media/index.htm

makeagif.com


Use a form to upload several pictures at a time that you want to animate together.  Makeagif takes the images and creates an animated GIF out of them, then your redirected to a download link so you can save it or share it. Very unique and very cool. I highly recommend you at least check it out. I was curious why I’ve never seen something like this before.  http://www.makeagif.com

myImager

myImager is a web-based image editor. You can upload images from your computer and from anywhere on the web and edit them freely with the dozens of tools and filters that this tool offers. Uploaded files can not be larger than 500 KB. myImager is completely free to use. http://www.myimager.com/

Aviary Phoenix

Phoenix is a powerful web-based image editor by Aviary. This online image editing suite, has a range of functions from basic image retouching to complex effects, providing the key features of a desktop image editor, with the simplicity and accessibility of a web-based application. Its suite of creation and editing tools includes undo and redo, brushes, magic wand, and blend modes. Phoenix also supports layers, groups, and layer masks, and has an intuitive drag and drop interface. To fully appreciate the potential of this excellent image editor Check out this list of tutorials. Aviary delivers the key features of a desktop image editor with the simplicity and accessibility of a web-based application. It allows you to import images from popular photo sharing websites.  http://aviary.com/home

Pixlr

Another online image editor is Pixlr from Sweden. It’s free, it starts up very quickly with no login required, and has a good selection of tools, adjustments and filters that work quite similarly to functions in Photoshop, including tools such as layers, image adjustments, and the magic wand, and which I found generally work well, although one thing I didn’t like is that the adjustments don’t refresh in real time as you move the sliders. Pixlr plugin for Firefox turns your browser into an image editor. Once the plugin is installed, you’ll notice a little icon in the Firefox status bar that you can click to automatically import any web page you’re on to Pixlr for editing. http://www.pixlr.com/editor/

Splashup


Online & Downloadable Image Editing Program. Splashup is integrated with popular photo sharing services like Flickr, Picasa, and Facebook.  One of the coolest features Splashup offers is that you can access your photos remotely, Key features include Capture images from webcam, Layers with blending modes, filters and brushes. It’s easy to use, works in real-time and allows you to edit many images at once. http://www.splashup.com/

72Photos


I was really impressed with 72photos.com! 72photos is an image host kind of like Fotki.com,  where you can also edit your photos. They offer the basic editing options- like rotate, crop, enhance, plus some special effects.  Once you’ve uploaded your photos you can tag them and edit them if you wish. You can organize them into categories, tag them , label them, and add them to different galleries. Sharing your photos is another plus to the site. Post your photos on; websites, forums, blogs, or send them to friends. There are many great photos on the site so take advantage and browse through them. You can view photos by the day they were uploaded to the site by clicking on the days of the calendar. Go to the popular galleries and popular profiles to take a look at the photos.. 72photos.com is a great place to host your photos and appreciate other people’s skills. http://www.72photos.com


Diva Geek Thinks:

Based on what I found.. Sumo Paint, Pixer.us, Fotoflexer or Pixlr would be my choices to recommend to my clients.  I personally use Photoshop to do most of my photo editing and if I need to do a quick crop or resize I use a small program called Infranview* which I’ve been using for many moons! and I still love it.

FYI..Many Moons = 6-7 years.

*IrfanView: is a very fast, small, compact and innovative FREEWARE (for non-commercial use) graphic viewer.. but you can also use to resize, crop, rotate, flip, paint as well as use other advanced tools like create a gallery, a slideshow, batch conversions etc.. it’s a very handy and useful tool that I think all web developers should at least try it.

Imogen Heap – Hide And Seek w/ Lyrics

// February 3rd, 2010 // No Comments » // Blogging, I recommend, Music, Videos


Hide and Seek” is the first single by Imogen Heap from her album Speak for Yourself. The song is performed with the sole accompaniment being the sound produced by a harmonizer (a DigiTech Vocalist Workstation), creating an altered a cappella sound.

This song has an Interesting History.. More then one person has found some success with this cool song..

I first hear the Jason DeRulo’s 2009 single “Whatcha Say” version which prominently samples Imogen Heap’s song so I googled the Imogen version and now I even like her version better so if you havn’t hear it yet I highly recommend you listen to it and then tell me which one you like better… :)
 The single topped the Billboard Hot 100. Heap is credited for the single.

Jason DeRulo’s 2009 single “Whatcha Say” prominently sampled Heap’s song. The single topped the Billboard Hot 100. Heap is credited for the single.

The track samples the Imogen Heap song “Hide And Seek”. In late August 2009, the song debuted at #54 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit #1 in November of 2009.

The single’s music video was released in September 2009; after the single became successful, Derülo began work on his debut album.

The single was certified gold by the RIAA on April 3, 2009.

The song was featured prominently in the second season finale of The O.C.. This was parodied in a 2007 Saturday Night Live Digital Short called The Shooting. In the short, characters cut each other’s sentences off by pulling out guns and shooting each other as the refrain plays over their slow-motion deaths. NBC was unable to upload the clip to YouTube immediately after the show because it hadn’t cleared the song, but fans uploaded it on their own, naming it “Dear Sister”. It became an Internet phenomenon, spawning a number of parodies in which scenes of real and fictional violence are punctuated with the refrain.

Heap arranged an alternate version of the song, labeled “Hide and Seek 2″, for the compilation album Songs for Tibet — The Art of Peace.

The song was also used in the films The Last Kiss and Warren Miller’s Off the Grid. It has also been featured in the series So You Think You Can Dance, Smith, The L Word, The Real World: Sydney, and CSI: Miami. The song has appeared in promotional spots for the television series Lost, Heroes, and the Norwegian version of Survivor.

The single was certified gold by the RIAA on April 3, 2009.

Imogen Heap – Hide And Seek Lyrics

Where are we?
What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to fall
Crop circles in the carpet
Sinking feeling

Spin me around again and rub my eyes
This can’t be happening
When busy streets a mess with people
Would stop to hold their heads heavy

Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
All those years
They were here first

Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before
The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity
Of this still life

Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
Blood and tears
They were here first

Mm what’cha say?
Mm, that you only meant well
Well of course you did

Mm what’cha say?
Mm that it’s all for the best
Of course it is

Mm what’cha say?
Mm that it’s just what we need
You decided this?

Mm what’cha say?
Mm what did you say?

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Mid-sweet-talk newspaper word cutouts (paper word cutouts)
Speak no feeling; no, I don’t believe you
You don’t care a bit
You don’t care a bit

New Social Networking Icon Sets Galore!

Two cool new sites offering new social networking icon sets. It’s always nice to see new sets and I’m always looking so if you know of one I have not posted please let me know or if you’ve designed one and you’d like to be featured – Let me know!

http://icons.mysitemyway.com/


WebTreats

Both sites were designed using.. My Site My Way which is something new to me..what I found strange instead of them having their own domain names they use a subdomain – for example: icons.mysitemyway.com must be great for mysitemyway’s search engine results! However..If I were the webmaster for one of these web sites above, I would nix using the mysitemyway’s subdomain and definitely register my own domain name. Because I’d want my ranking, seo etc.. to go towards my web site not my web hosts. Plus I never recommend sub domains. Use a .com and point to your main index so that people can type your domain name directly into their browsers and show up where they need to go without having to remember a long sub domain address.

my site my way

Random and possibly use-ful or use-less information…

Understanding Sub-Domains and Sub Directory and how it effects SEO

“blog.domain.com” is a subdomain while “domain.com/blog” is a subdirectory or a folder within a domain.

A sub domain creates more separation than just a sub directory or a folder, since a subdomain is basically creating a stand alone site that could easily be it’s own domain. However, you may want to piggyback on the main domain name. For example, google.com is the main site. Gmail actually lives at mail.google.com.

WPWebHost.com Review – Best Hosting for Wordpress!

// October 5th, 2009 // 3 Comments » // Blogging, Cool Links, Cool Websites, Featured, For Geeks, Hosting, I recommend, News, Useful, Wordpress, webmaster, wordpress tutorials


Good web hosting is one of the most important things that is overlooked by newbie bloggers. I know this because I made this mistake myself. Well, actually, by a stroke of luck, I turned out alright. Before I bought a yearly plan from my current web host, I hadn’t done any research into other providers at all. Six months later I now see that I could have saved money here and there for the same amount of services from other hosting companies, one of them being WPWebhost.com.

Now moving my website from one host to another isn’t easy. I just wish I would of thought of these things when I started my website. That’s why I’m here to point you in the right direction.

Does your web hosting company have a “face”? Do you know who the owners are? How good is your customer service at your current provider? WPWebhost.com is unique in that it’s unlike all the normal hosts out there. Instead of just being a static website with the only purpose being to sell you their services, WPWebhost.com a reliable hosting provider and a regularly-updated blog slapped into one.

WPWebHost

Specifications and Pricing

WPWebHost.com is one of the best web hosting providers that I’ve ever seen in terms of price. One of their simplest plans are as follows:

  • 50GB of web space
  • 500GB of monthly bandwidth
  • Host up to 50 domain names
  • WordPress-compatible server
  • WordPress-savvy support team
  • Only $5 a month ($60 a year!)

And here’s a list of their monthly, yearly, and bi-yearly plans:

  • Monthly Fee: $8/month
  • Annual Fee: $6.67/month ($80/year)
  • Bi-annual Fee: $5/month ($120/2 years) Best Value

One of the greatest things about WPWebhost.com is that they offer you a 100-day money-back guarantee! If you decide you don’t like their service for whatever reason after 3 months, you can get your money back and move on no strings attached! And in case you didn’t know, WPWebHost.com is built specifically to host Wordpress blogs and run them at their highest potential in terms of speed. Also, another unique feature that I’ve seen only with these guys is that when you sign up for any plan under them, you automatically receive a free copy of their premium Wordpress theme “Western”.
