Almost a thousand words

Pixoh Logo

This morning I discovered two cool Web2.0 apps that could be handy in a pinch: Pixoh and PXN8. They’re both online photo editors, so if you need to edit a photo and don’t have other software to do it, here you go. PXN8 seems to have more features at the moment, but I like the feel of Pixoh better. I don’t see myself using it all that often, because I have Photoshop, but if I ever find myself at a computer that doesn’t, this is good stuff.

Oooh! Nice. Now only if there was one for editting video clips . . . .

I’m sure someone’s working on that. :) But that just might prove to be the limit of Ajax web apps — video editing is intense enough that it probably can’t be done in a browser…

check out eyspot.com – a pretty good video editor.
Ben I’d like to get a better idea of why you prefer pixoh to pxn8.

Um, that link doesn’t work. As for why I prefer Pixoh, its interface is cleaner and more enjoyable to work with. PXN8 is cluttered, with not enough breathing room. Simplicity is good.

phixr.com also nice. It’s photobucket support is essential for me. Also, pxn8 always displays ads right over the image on firefox.

Hmm, Phixr also seems to suffer from the cluttered interface, and I don’t think the separate-window-for-rotating sort of thing is very intuitive. Pixoh’s interface is nice, fun to use, and intuitive, even though it doesn’t have a ton of features right now. (And I think that not having a ton of features can definitely be a good thing.) Not to mention the aesthetics — Pixoh looks good; Phixr and PXN8 don’t. Sorry. Those things matter.
