What can you use the application for?
flauntR is an online photo and image editor that lives entirely in
your web browser.
What is the history and popularity of the application?
flauntR is a privately funded, online photo and effect editor. Their
goal is simple, provide an easy to use interface to manage, modify and
enhance images without any outside software. They do this with and
Adobe Flash driven interface that allows a user to use editR, stylR,
textR, mobilR, picasR, and profilR -- all flauntR specific
enhancements. In addition to allowing the modification of images,
flauntR also allows users to post directly to most of their favorite
social networking services (such as MySpace, Facebook and WordPress)
as well as have the pictures professionally printed by some of the
main online printers.
What are the differences to other applications?
flauntR's very robust Flash interface allows for some severe
modifications. From adding text and graphics to cropping and
resizing, flauntR gives some of the basic functionality of tools like
Photoshop or Gimp directly to the user for free and online.
How does the application look and feel to use?
While the interface of flauntR can be a bit confusing at first (with
six different categories of modifications), after a quick 5 minute
lesson, most users are good to go. Through a series of questions and
answers, the application can transform the images that are put into it
into works of art (or whatever the uploader's heart desires).
How does the registration process work?
Registration simply requires an email, username and password and
you're ready to start uploading.
What does it cost to use the application?
Free.
Who would you recommend the application to?
flauntR is a great tool for those times when a quick touchup is needed
on an image. flauntR does not currently allow for more advanced
modification (no Stamp tool or free-transforms available) but it does
provide a great solution when trying to make an image look more
professional.
