If you use an image editor like Photoshop or the GIMP, then you can now take these features with you, with SplashUp.
SplashUp is a new web 2.0 online advanced image editor that supports great features like Layers and Blend Modes, Filters, Layer Effects, Brushes, Text Editing, and Webcam support.

Opening in a new window, the SplashUp interface is a slick grey, and looks decidedly familiar.
[Above:] When you put SplashUp and Photoshop together, you start to see a startling amount of similarity. Whilst SplashUp is web-based, and in theory slightly more limited, that web-based environment is a real advantage over Photoshop. Not only is Photoshop CS3 $649 new from Adobe vs. SplashUp’s $0 price, but Photoshop isn’t readily available. Adobe is preparing to commercially release a cut down version of Photoshop for mainstream use.
This all in mind, there’s always a bigger fish, after all Adobe now own Macromedia, may an online conquest be on the horizon for this San Jose software giant? The tools in SplashUp are really helpful, sporting:
- Warp
- Crop
- Text manipulation
- Layers (The triumph of SplashUp)
- Fill
- EyeDropper
- Movable panels
- A colour slider pane
- Full screen mode
I highly recommend SplashUp, and you can sign up for SplashUp here:
