Photo Frenzy: 8 Online Image Editors
Web-designers and photo-savvy teens alike, everybody needs to edit a picture once in a while. Photoshop is great, but expensive and relatively hard to use. Alternatives like Gimp can solve the first problem, but sometimes we’re just too lazy to learn stuff. That’s why you turn to the interweb. Here are some great (and not-so-great) online image editing apps. I stumbled upon most of them using the MakeUseOf.com Directory, neat tool for anybody who’s curious.
Ranked in order of [estimated] deliciousness.
1. Picnik
Amazing!
Littered with face parts, Mashface gives a strong first impression. The home page has an introduction video featuring so-called mashes of Barack Obama and John McCain, along with some other guy I don’t know, maybe Tom Cruise. The site’s purpose, to literally mash different faces together, is quite clever, and the interface is well-suited for it.
3. PhotoFunia
This one lets you add you or one of your pictures to many different settings, from Time Square to Angelina Jolie’s shirt. Some of the options use face detecting technology, allowing you to turn yourself into a lot of things, like Santa Claus, a Jedi, or Mona Lisa.
4. DrPic
Equipped with the basic weapons of edit, DrPic is a relatively basic editor.
5. Picture2Life
Like DrPic, it has all the basics, and a little bit more.
6. PICFONT
Lets you add text to images. Helpful, but not so special.
7. FACEinHOLE
Very similar to PhotoFunia. It lets you add your own face to different pictures. Its not as advanced as PhotoFunia, though.
8. TEXT-IMAGE
Very simple design with a simple purpose.
