Online Photoshop Alternative - Fauxto
ADVERTISEMENTSThis is a guest post by Nelson from Help Desk Geek. If you are interested in writing a guest post too, let me know.
Hard-core Photoshoppers might claim there is no alternative to the mighty adobe image application, But while Photoshop is not about to be dethroned, be prepared to be blown away by Fauxto. This site hosts an online app that can open JPEG,PNG,GIF,BMP,and TIFF images. From there you can add multiple layers, adjustments, movable marquees, including text layers, there are even a number of common effect filters.
As you can see on this image Fauxto pretty much resembles Photoshop Interface
Fauxto is built in flash, but amazingly it is fairly quick, it takes just a few seconds to load on my computer and the times I have used it, works flawlessly. It might be a good alternative application for those people needing to edit their images but don�t have access to the computer where they have Photoshop installed.
Fauxto lacks instruction and documentations, it seems like it was just put there for people to figure it out, but if you have Photoshop experience this should be easy to figure it out.
You will need to create an account the first time you want to use Fauxto though, but is really simple and straightforward. Hope you like it.

A few days ago I was in an internet cafe and I was looking a website where I can resize an image online (I had to download a photo editor for that). Thanks for sharing this site, it’s really useful when you have no time for photoshop or if you are in a wrong place

I am a photographer. I tried this,but it’s not the fastest. It’s free though and seem to do ok for basic small pictures for online use. I tried a big file and it couldn’t render it properly
