Today’s post will be about online graphic tools. Sometimes you are away from your computer (sitting somewhere at the airport’s internet cafe for instance) when you need to edit some pictures or draw something that your client needs ASAP and you can’t refuse doing it.
Here are some tools for helping you. While testing them I had been searching for things that are very important for me and my way of working with graphic editors. First of all I need to have layers and selection tools i order to make simple work very fast.
72photos

Good for photo editing. Can control some effects, few filters, sharpness tools. Nothing special. Not suitable for me.
Photoshop Express
http://photoshop.com/express
Even though that it has similar name to our most wanted and loved editor it has huge lack of it’s functionality. You can do there some basic photo editing such as: cropping / resizing / red-eye removing / sharpening etc. Big plus is that it work with video.
Phoenix

Here we have really nice tool, a bit buggy in saving photos (can crash) but yet the most user-friendly and has all tools that you need. Moreover it can work with external URL, I mean you can not only upload pictures into it, but also use URL to the picture without uploading it from your’s computer.
Pixlr

Very powerful editor with lots of functions inside and really nice interface. Sill a bit slow, don’t forget that it’s online. Has URL picture upload too. Interface is very similar to Photoshop.
Splashup

Great interface, works fine, has all necessary functions to work online. Has ability to upload pictures from all the famous image hostings and external URLs. Probably the best from the list.
