Online picture editing

One of our core values here at NPower Seattle is that nonprofits should be able to update their website content without having to understand coding - HTML, .NET, Cold Fusion, ASP, PHP or anything else.

We’re making that happen for our customers by using Plone, and open source content management system (or CMS).

Still - pictures are content, too - and unless you have the right imaging software handy you might not be able to place that terrific picture on your website. It might be too big, too bright, need to be cropped and so on.

Well - help is on the way! If you don’t have a great image editing tool installed on your computer but you DO have access to the internet, there are tools that can help. As you may imagine, they come in various sizes and shapes (and some have extended features that aren’t free) but you can use these to get started.

Christian Watson has a pretty good list of tools, and particuarly likes a tool called Picnik - I haven’t had time to try all of them -  but having an online service for editing pictures - especially if you are editing your website via an internet browser - makes a lot of sense!
