I don’t have a photo editor on my computer

I still remember a few years ago when I used taking apartment pictures with a 35 mm camera, go to the closest 1 hour photo development store and get a cd with the digital stills. Now with my 3 years old Canon Powershot those days is history. Cameras are becoming cheaper and cheaper and pictures are suitable for large printed material as well.

However, the large files produced by these kinds of cameras are not always ready for the web and have to be resized down. Oh no, how can I do that? I am not a graphic designer!!! Well, there is a great tool on the web that comes handy. Its name is FotoFlexer, an on-line web site that allows to upload a file, manipulate and save it with a different name. A photo editor on your finger tips!

So, what is exactly PhotoFlexer? PhotoFlexer is the engine behind PhotoBucket and its interface is entirely developed in Flash, so it’s not even browser sensitive. In addition to that, users don’t even have to subscribe, so there is not even the hassle to remember a new user id and password. At this point, just add the url http://fotoflexer.com/ into your Favorites and you are ready to go!

Enjoy!!
