Photo utilities and new online editing toys!

Posted on 24 Apr, 2007 by Scott under Announcements, Downloads, Software, Web Design Tips, web reviews

For those of us that are unsure about what photo editing software we should purchase, there are some great products. The best part is that most of these products are free!

For most of us, our photo editing requirements are nothing more than cropping, and resizing our vacation pictures. At the most, we might need a red eye remover, or basic color and saturation touch ups. Advanced photo editing is left for the professional software suites like Adobe and Corel. If you are keeping an eye out for the latest technologies and Internet offerings, photo editing is not to be overlooked!

No more installation of massive photo editing suites just to perform the basics. Now, you can do it all online, and even share those memories online too! There are online photo books, and photo sharing sites such as with flickr, and photobucket to name a few. You can upload your photos and share them with friends and family, or the world if you choose. Many people also have learned of ways to generate income from their photos by selling them to clipart and photo retailers.

Probably the best free program for photo editing is The GIMP (Gnu Photo Manipulation Program) at http://www.gimp.org

Also, resizing of photo is click-easy at ResirZ, which has a Firefox extension to make it especially easy to use: resizr.lord-lance.com

thank you for the additional information, good info to know!
I was sort of going by way of the online photo resources that are migrating towards Web 2.0 applications. I know there are many excellent graphic programs, such as those you mentioned. I also line XNview. and Picasa from google too.

thx!
