More and more software is migrating from the desktop to the Internet. In most cases with online software, there’s nothing for the user to install on their machine – you can access it from virtually any computer.

However, a lot of times there’s just one slight problem with online software, especially photo editing programs, and that is you’ll sacrifice features that is commonly found in desktop versions of the software. So used to, if you needed to do advanced editing beyond basic photo resizing and cropping, you would have to use a desktop program.

So, I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon Pixlr. This online photo-editing program bears a striking resemblance to Photoshop Elements.

Unlike thousands of other online editing software, Pixlr provides all the tools an intermediate user needs; allowing you to work with layers, apply effects much more.

But notice I said intermediate. For those who are Photoshop or Gimp gurus, they can simply dive right in and get started. However, features such as working with layers, applying filters and effects can be somewhat overwhelming to the novice.

Or maybe you’re an advanced user who just needs to do some basic editing such as resizing and cropping your image or just make a few minor corrections. After all, advanced options often get in the way of simple tasks. In that case, you’ll want to check out Pixlr’s Photo Express. It’s easy to understand for the novice, and prefect for performing those basic tasks too.

Forum regulars – I’m thinking that that the Photo Express version would be the perfect alternative for those members who need the basic editing tools offered on the Enhanced Uploader. Instead of using the Enhanced Uploader, users could easily edit their images with this tool, Save it, then use the Basic or Standard uploaders instead.
