Pixlr.com is a Flash based Online Image Editor you can use for free. It loads faster than Photoshop, it’s a lot(!) cheaper and does a lot less. I know, for some of you that is bad news but for 90% of people that is good news. As you can see I imported a self-portrait straight from Flickr (just copy/paste the URL) and made it lighter, enlarged my nose and made my mouth smaller, and it took me only 2 minutes to do all that.
The application supports layers, filters and most basic editting tools and when you are ready you can save the image to your desktop as a JPG or PNG.

I tried this myself and I think it’s a very good application with good future (in two months since it launched it had over 100,000 visitors wich processed around 65,000 images).
Pixlr is a one-man-show project.
They guy who developed, a Swedish named Ola Sevandersson, told me that he will continue to improve the application with new features (it has also an API which seem a sine qua non condition today for web applications).
No financing yet but if someone is interested then it should contact the developer.

I think it is an amazing product and even more impressive if it is just one person!

Yes, this online tool would be a good addition for any photo sharing website (offering it to its users).
