Online photo editing
While we were in Martinique, we used Cyber Base as our internet access provider to upload photos and comment here on tumblr. When you’re away from home and want to upload pictures, you can email the photos to most Web sites or you can upload from a thumbdrive to your photo hosting site. But if you don’t have your computer at hand, you may not like the results on your photos. Depending on how picky you are, you may want to use an online photo editing site to fix up your pictures.
Tech Crunch has an online review for your information, giving a very quick overview of a half-dozen sites. It omits one excellent resource called FotoFlexer, which bills itself as the world’s most advanced online image editor. At the time of Tech Crunch’s review, Picnic had a free service and a paid service with more features; Picnic announced today that it will provide all features at no charge, although if you want to do away with the ads, you may still subscribe. As far as I can tell, Snipshot is the only site that lets you upload and edit RAW photos, saving them as JPGs.
All sites will let you upload the photos from your computer or take them from online hosts; you may then crop, rotate, and otherwise enhance your photos, then save them back to your computer or send them to your host.
Our Home Away from Home Page has links to Snipshot and Picnic, plus links to a couple of sites that let you upload a photo for conversion to post cards in the US or to print out and create your own postcards while you’re on vacation.
While photo editing may not be your highest priority on vacation, removing red eye from that photo of the two of you in your resort restaurant is certainly nice for all the folks back home.
