What can you use the application for?
FotoFlexer.com is an advanced online image editor. With the ability to upload/download from outside systems, FotoFlexer can be a companion to all of your image editing needs.
What is the history and popularity of the application?
FotoFlexer was created by Arbor Labs and a team of students and alumni from UC Berkeley and an MIT alum. The idea is simple, create an online photo editor that allows advanced effects to be performed on uploaded and linked images with only a web browser. This is normally accomplished with professional image editing software that can become pricey and has a steep learning curve.
What are the differences to other applications?
FotoFlexer differs from some of the other online image editing apps by allowing image processing without having an account as well as the ability to modify images in a very Web 2.0/ajaxish environment. They no longer use the three toolbox design that software applications like Photoshop do, they offer a similar UI Word 2007 with an editing ribbon across the top of the window.
How does the application look and feel to use?
While the new user interface of FotoFlexer is very pretty, the usability can be difficult at times. While switching between different photo effect features (such as adding glitter text or removing blemishes) the application requires the user to either be in or out of full-screen mode. For some reason, at this time, certain features can only be done in one or the other. This can become confusing while using the site to modify images.
How does the registration process work?
There is no need to register in order to modify images. Registration provides the ability to save photos and images in your account.
What does it cost to use the application?
The site is completely free.
Who would you recommend the application to?
FotoFlexer would be a great add-on to anyone needing make quick changes to images. The fact that FotoFlexer allows image editing without registering for the site makes it a great choice for people who simply want to tweak the photo or remove a blemish. Some of the additional text features and the neat effect (like neon or blueprint) make FotoFlexer a fun toy to use every day.
