I’m fed up with Photoshop and its one billion rarely-used features.

How about a simple photo-editor that’s quick, easy, and doesn’t cost a thousand dollars. Fortunately, there’re tons of web-based photos editors popping up. Most are crap, but some are promising. Check out these free web-based Photoshop alternatives:
1. Picnik


DOWNLOAD Picnik

Arguably, Picnik is the most popular web-based photo editor. Why? Because it’s now integrated with Flickr.

2. Splashup


DOWNLOAD Slashup

Very polished interface. Tools and palettes are modeled after Photoshop. And it has layers!
3. Phoenix


DOWNLOAD Phoenix

Part of the Aviary suite of creative apps, Phoenix also offers layers and compositing.
4. Photoshop Express

DOWNLOAD Photoshopexpress

Adobe was a little late to the web-apps game, but this is a pretty good first try. I like the free 2GB of space. Unlike the real Photoshop, this web version has no ability to layer or composite images.
5. Snipshot


DOWNLOAD Snipshot

Nice, simple, and clear interface, with no ads at all.
