Nice little on-line application

I came across this today

At first I didn’t think there was anything revolutionary about it, but when I read the comments asociated with the post that brought me to it, I realised it’s potential.

On-Line photo editing suite

It’s free, very easy to use and a fast method for those often time consuming tweaks we have to perform on graphics to make them more aesthetically pleasing.

Beta Version

It’s new, and we are in test mode, and all features are currently available. looks like some of these will be lost when the full package is released. Never-the-less, the functions that look like remaining are worth consideration in there own right.

Rounded corners

I for one love this kind of app, just makes the job easy,

Add Border

Inner and outer borders, very nice feature, comes with hex. colour input, so there is no messing trying to match shades.

Loads of other more standard stuff

Crop, resize, sepia, black and white etc.

I think it’s main potential lies in the situation that occurs when a site for a client has been designed, and you the designer hand over the reins.

The site as your project, you have become immersed in, and know intimately is out there.

Don’t break the layout

Thus far I havn’t faced this scenario, but I imagine the situation is likely to occur when a graphic is uploaded to a site that exceeds the containg div’s dimensions, things will burst, folks will not be happy your design did not automatically compensate.

To the future and beyond my kindred.
