A lot of new Flash based image editing programs usable directly from your web browser have popped up since I last posted about Fauxto. I came across Pixlr recently which is way faster than anything I have tried before.
Fauxto has been renamed to Splashup. Its much more powerful than before.
Adobe has released its own version called Photoshop Express. It gives you web space for hosting your images and also allows you to post your final edited images to photo sites like Flickr.
So what good are these applications? They give you powerful image editing capabilities without having anything installed on your PC (except Flash).
These applications are also a living proof of the fact that full blown powerful and usable applications can indeed be developed using the web paradigm. AJAX and Flash have proven it. So don't be shocked one day to find out that all your applications run through your browser.
Technologies like Mozilla Prism will allow these web technologies based applications to also install on your PC so you can run them when you are not online. The face of desktop application development is being redefined.
