Shared Creation

Yes folks its another rock solid and completely free to use online image editing system. At this rate no one will be launching new computer based basic editors, the cloud will have the market sewn up. Or will it? You see  Splashup comes in two interesting flavours.

That’s right it comes in two versions – an online editor with the usual features and much more interestingly an Adobe Air ‘lite’ version.

The web based editor is not too different to most other offerings in its class.

Its the Adobe Air version that interests me. It downloads and installs in no time flat, and being Air based is instantly multiplatform. It prefers to work with PNG and JPG images and really excels at quick and dirty webcam captures.

Its nifty little interface gives you all the basic features of an image editor in an efficient little space. I worked on it with a Web Cam capture and few small images on my PC. It always behaved itself and operate in a pleasingly fluid way.

In other words if you want a simple and lightweight image tool, and maybe a more powerful online version – take a look at Splashup.com.

As for the web taking over – I wonder if the real winner will be multiplatform platforms + the cloud. Its a killer combo.
