    Anyone serious about photography will be using some sort of digital imaging program. Elements, Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro seem to be the standards these days. Some of this software is really expensive but there is a solution. On facebook I saw a link to Pixlr.com, I was a little dubious at first thinking it would be some gimmicky program for turning faces into cartoons (or something equally as kitch), but no, what I got was a website that looks just like photoshop (identical in fact)and it actually works: Pixlr.com

    The great thing about it, if you are allowed to use the internet in your work's lunch hour, you can log onto Pixlr.com and work on a few of your images (assuming you don't have photoshop on your works PC). I haven't used it much myself as I already have photoshop but it certainly works.

    I just thought I'd share this superb website for anyone who hasn't yet discovered it.

    Any comments will be very much appreciated.

    Andrew.

    Neat - and seems better than Photoshop Express online (here).

    responds very quickly and no need to hold software on your PC...looks promising..are there any catches? Smile

    It's really good for what it is and for the price. Is there a way to get it to always outline the active layer?

    and the original

    yes, a bit rushed, but I'm pleased with how easy it was to do (used one of the How to's) Smile

    many thanks Andrew Smile

    ps Their `immio' feature looks useful for sharing single images too

    There is, right click on the layers palette. I can't get the layer masks to work with a gradient the way it does in Photoshop.

    Fair enough, however I want bevel, stroke, drop shadow, inner glow, etc etc etc Tongue. Still though, a very very good find!

    Looks quite a good Ps clone, I'm impressed by its speed as well, the only thing that gets me is the size of the print I would be suffering severe eye strain after half an hour. But its just what I was looking for as my son wanted something for cropping photographs etc

    Impressive indeed. Great for the odd tweak on stuff for work...

    Thanks for the 'Heads Up!' Andrew.
