Web-Based Photo Editor Roundup

mikemuch writes "ExtremeTech has a roundup of 5 web-based image editing programs. The mostly Flash and AJAX-based webware ranges from simple touch-up services like Snipshot to the Photoshop wannabe Fauxto. They vary greatly in interface and extra goodies; some offer bookmarklets for getting images from a web page you're browsing, some offer artistic or goofy effects for you pix, but all fear the specter of Adobe's online version of Photoshop on the horizon."

there's nothing wrong with the thin client idea

There's nothing wrong with thin clients for certain applications. There is a lot wrong with the silly idea of using a damn web browser as the platform for a thin client. Javascript and XHTML are not an application framework. They're for drawing pretty web pages. Compare any Web 2.0 "framework" with a real GUI toolkit: even a retarded chimp can see just how terrible an idea all of this Web 2.0 stuff is. Really, what is the fascination with it? Even Java would be a better idea for this sort of stuff!

Places where I might want to edit a photo: my flat, my place of work (my office), my place of work (someone else's desk), parents house, friends house, internet cafe, conference.

Places where I will just install software because I need it: my flat.

All those other places, if I want (or someone else asks me) to edit a photo, an online tool would be great.

If they don't want to do anything to photos, why are they using the online photo program at all?
