Splashup

Splashup is an online image editor that looks and feels like working directly in Photoshop. Splashup (formerly Fauxto) is used to both modify and create images on the fly. With a similar setup to Photoshop or Gimp, Splashup provides an interface that makes it quick and simple to modify any image from your computer or the web. In addition to simply uploading images, Splashup allows free-transformation of the image, layer effects, multiple brushes and much more. With the ability to share and download images when complete, it could replace a desktop image editing program very quickly. One of the key differences between Splashup and other services (like flauntR) is that Splashup allows images to be opened both from the computer as well as taken directly from a web cam. This means that without ever leaving the browser, a pictures could be taken, red-eye reduction performed, resizing and cropping and be easily done and the image can be shared with friends through their integrated sharing system. In addition, Splashup allows for nearly the same control of images as most desktop image editing applications so it makes for a seamless move for the everyday graphic editor. Splashup has a very similar look and feel to today's desktop applications. The view is modular with a tool picker, info, color and layer window to provide complete control over the images that are being modified. The window is resizable so that multiple images can be opened at one time and modified directly in the web browser. Registration at Splashup requires only a username, email and password to be chosen. There is no email verification even necessary before a user gets to start working in Splashup. Splashup is currently free without any advertisement. Splashup could be a great tool for almost anyone that needs to modify graphics. While there are features missing from Splashup (such as additional filters and macros that can be added to Photoshop), Splashup provides the basic and semi-advanced tools to modify almost any image.
