Photo Editing Software On The Internet
Although using a photo editing program such as Fotobuch installed on your computer is convenient when you have large numbers of photographs to edit, store, and organize, smaller photo editing jobs can also be done on completely online photo editing software programs. In this case, you upload your photograph to a website which offers the service and, once the file is uploaded and stored on the website server, you can use the website software to edit the photograph. This method has some advantages over an installed program in certain circumstances. Online photo editors usually have simple, clear interfaces that are easy to use, and offer interesting and sometimes quirky gimmicks to make their use more interesting. They also offer support for direct use of photos edited in them in Facebook, Twitter, and other popular applications. Here are three of the top online photo editors you might want to consider.
1. LunaPic is an online photo editor which is meant to provide easy and interesting photo editing options for Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace, as well as similar sites. After uploading your photographs, you can edit them by cropping them, rotating them, adding text, erasing, adding lines, squares, circles, and so forth. LunaPic also lets you add special effects to your photographs, including organizing them into a slide show, adding reflecting water animations, snowfall, animated transitions between one picture and the next, textures, and startling kaleidoscope effects.
2. Picnik is another online editing software which allows you to upload your photographs and perform a variety of editing functions without needing to download any software to your computer. The program’s features include the expected ability to resize, crop, and rotate your photographs at will. There is also a “one-click fix” feature which will adjust brightness and contrast to a preset set of values that is most likely to produce a pleasing effect. Picnik is compatible with Linux, Mac, and Windows operating systems, and can be used directly with an array of popular websites, such as Flickr, Facebook, Photobucket, Myspace, etc. It also has special seasonal effects, such as being able to put a red reindeer nose on your pictures at Christmas, Santa details, or vampire fangs.
3. FotoFlexer, billed as the “world’s most advanced online photo editor,” offers many of the same features as the other photo editors, including options to crop, flip, rotate, and resize uploaded pictures. It also adds a few flourishes of its own. It can create photo effects such as fancy frames around pictures, changes in skin and hair color (a fun way to experiment with your appearance and possible make joke pictures), distortions that change the dimensions of images, retouching, fancy fonts, and strange color effects. FotoFlexer offers support for Flickr, Facebook, Picasa Web Albums, Myspace, Photobucket, and so on. It is also available in 22 different languages, including English, German, French, Finnish, Japanese, Russian, Polish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Turkish, and Portuguese.
