Happy mantis

This foto nearly made me spew my dr. pepper this morning when I saw it. The little guy looks so darn triumphant.

Another photo editing freebie: PXN8

Yet another free online photo editor is PXN8. The editing tools are easy to use and it's free!

Another cool photo editor: Phixr

Phixr is a FREE photo editor that let's you resize, recolor, crop, overlay another photo, and pretty much do anything else you can think of to photos you upload. It even has red-eye reduction! It's easy to use AAAAAAAAAAAAND you don't have to download anything. You can do it all from the web.

In addition, when you're finished tinkering, you can upload your newly-doctored creation directly to your flickr account. (it also supports upload to photobucket, livejournal, & a few others)

The only real drawback is that it requires registration (annoying), but it's still probably the best free editor I've seen that doesn't require download (like Irfanview).

More free image hosting: thumbq

Here's another free image hosting site: thumbq.

I like this one because it lets you host multiple images on one URL. Also, the site's a good deal less cluttery.

Free image hosting: Image Shack

Use Image Shack to host your images on the web (for free of course). This is handy for generating a quick URL to an image. You just browse to your image and click "Host It." No passwords or email invitations required to share your picture!

This one was so cool, I put it into the latest issue of my Law Library's newsletter.

Thanks to: My pal Frank!

Easy image resizing

I've used Irfanview for a number of years to resize, crop, and edit images. It's a free download and offers a lot of functionality for working with your photos.

I came across ResizR on another blog this morning and thought it looked pretty handy. You don't have to download anything; just browse to the image on your computer and use the little slider to change the size. It also lets you rotate the image. This could come in handy if you have an image you want to resize and say, you're not on your own computer.
