Cool online image editor

Published 6/6/06

I love Photoshop, but I also know that it can be overkill for a lot of people — and the menus and options can be intimidating. (Photoshop Elements, also a great program, can be a bit condescending in its menus.)

For the kind of basic fixes that most people need, Picasa is a good choice, although it has some problems. For one, you have to install it, and for two, it also demands to be an image organizer (and, to be honest, not one I’m thrilled with).

Comes now PXN8, an online, AJAX-based image editor. (AJAX, which stands for asynchronous JavaScript and XML, allows Web sites to act as smoothly and quickly as installed applications. See my column on the subject for more.)

Anyway, on first glance PXN8 looks great. A few minor things are annoying, but they’re not significant enough to take away from the overall goodness.

It allows you to choose an image from your hard drive, then crop and enhance it in all sorts of ways — not just ultra-basics like brightness and contrast. It’s got a fill light tool, a decent color shifter, a straightener, and some other nice stuff (but not too many to be overwhelming).

It’s free, it’s good, and it’s worth checking out.
