Summertime Cool-Down with Splashup!

This just in! Web 2.0 applications are here to stay.



With the popularity of photo sharing communities, there are now multiple choices of places to edit pictures with just an internet connection and a web browser. Earlier, we previewed the new beta from Adobe, Photoshop Express. Splashup is an alternative to online picture editing that gives you more control than just using presets. This flash application is very powerful and allows layer control, filters, and image resizing. You can even grab files that are already posted to an online gallery without putting the files on the computer that you are using.

Check it out here.
With web applications on the rise, this certainly will not be the last photo editing program. However, it is certainly one of the best available as of now!
