If you\u00a0don’t have Photoshop or PaintShop Pro or some other fancy image-editor, and you don’t want to download one of those 100MB free image editors (of which there are a couple good ones), online or Cloud-based Image Editors may be just what you need to spruce up some of those digital images of Fido flipping a Frisbee.<\/p>\n
Here are two of the best online photo editors we’ve found:<\/p>\n
Aviary<\/strong><\/p>\n The Phoenix image editor features support for layers, special effects, masks and more. Phoenix allows you to apply effects, filters and work with the many editing tools it offers. Support for layers is unique and gives Aviary a Photoshop feel.<\/p>\n Several other image editing tools are available: Peacock – an effects editor; Talon an online screen capture program; Raven, a vector editor; Falcon for image markup; and Toucan a color editor.<\/p>\n Myna is Aviary’s multitrack audio editor. You can work with the many samples provided or upload your own audio files. If you want to try your hand at creating your own music, give Aviary’s Roc a whirl.<\/p>\n You can do all these things and more by visiting Aviary at http:\/\/www.aviary.com\/<\/a> .<\/p>\n Pixlr<\/strong> Pixlr offers you a choice between full-power image editing or a lighter “express” version. They’re both available from Pixlr’s Web site. If you want to use some of the professional features choose Pixlr. If you want to some quick edits, choose Pixlr Express. There are many other image tools available from Pixlr’s Website as well.<\/p>\n Here’s a brief summary of Pixlr from its developers:<\/p>\n “What is Pixlr? Who needs online tools? It’s also widely used by professionals for fixing images for news sites and blogs etc.<\/p>\n How about privacy?
