Online Image Editing Power Tool: Splashup

Splashup strongly highlights the Web 2.0 style in three aspects: Create, Discover, and Share. In fact, Splashup is just an online image processing service. However, its concept thoroughly embodies the essence of Web 2.0, which is worth learning from for our domestic service providers.

We are accustomed to using Photoshop for document processing tasks that we need on a daily basis. However, there are many times when we don't have access to such an environment but still have document processing needs. At such times, web-based online services play a significant role.

In terms of functionality, there are actually quite a few similar services. For example, an earlier article on Xiantian IT.Net discussed a Flash-based online image processing software called Pixlr. When you genuinely have such application needs, it's not hard to understand how much convenience Splashup brings us. Splashup is also built using Flash technology. Of course, these web-based application services can't compare with professional software in terms of expertise. Their advantage lies in their convenience, and their purpose is merely to perform routine processing and operations.

Splashup's interface is very similar to Photoshop. It can quickly and conveniently handle simple and routine image processing tasks that you need. It supports uploading images from your local hard drive, obtaining images from a URL, and remotely calling images from image service providers like Picasa. However, if you want to use advanced features like channels in Photoshop, then you should download the hundreds of MB installation file and install it on your hard drive instead. If you're not a designer, then Splashup's image processing functions should be more than enough for your needs.
