Web Based Photo Editing With Fauxto

Posted on January 19, 2007

Over the past few months I’ve been using Google Docs and Spreadsheets.  It’s tools like these that are shaping the future of the web.  Google Docs has become my main word processing tools since I started using them.  Another tool that’s a must in my toolbox is Photoshop.  Photoshop is the premier photo editing and design tool.  Recently I was thinking how cool it would be if someone came out with a web based image editing tool like Docs and Spreadsheets.  Then I came across 10 Questions with Fauxto, the web based photo editing tool.  This blog posting reviews Fauxto, an image editing tool that was build in Flex.

Fauxto is not Photoshop but it’s a step in that direction.  I signed up for my free account to give Fauxto a test drive and was pretty impressed at what I saw.  The cool part is what you see is a work in progress.  One look at the Fauxto blog and you’ll see they are continuously launching new releases of the tool. 

The brief time I used Fauxto I was able to open images from my computer, create new ones, work with the layers, and apply effects to the layers.  The Fauxto team has done a tremendous job in creating this new hot application.

It’s tools like these that catch my attention.  I’m a Christian and very interested in missions.  These tools can be a great help to missionaries and other small organizations that don’t have big pockets to buy all the latest and greatest tools.  So go ahead and test it out and let me know what you think in the comments. 

Side note: Make sure when you test it out to click the magic wand in the layer pallet to apply drop shadows, bevels, and more.

Enjoy!
