Online Photo Editing-PHIXR
Period Ford
The proliferation of online photo galleries makes mindful image photographers looking for the next step. Where are all the good online photo editors? Not every one wants to stop and edit photos when it’s time to do other things. But quick edits and experiments with photo effects works breezily at PHIXR.com. The ancient Ford image i had looks 100% authentic now.
And the finished photo download has the original filename with a underscore PHIXR tag in the filename so you know which one to move with from there. Filenames can starts to blur after the dozenth file folder navigation. Even positioning image files from here to there on the desktop can get hairy if you get interrupted, your system crashes, or you are too sleepy to remember the next day.
But flirting between a memory stick at a mobile workstation and a memory challenged laptop makes the PHIXR options of emailing the finished result or uploading into your online gallery convenient. If you have photos at Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, photobucket or others, this can be a nice way to work through task albums for saleable microstock image upload.
Following the trend for online desktops the applications for online thin client and open process while-you-wait online digital picture editing are getting better. And in some places online they are very basic and not very useful. But some good online photo editing free can take place.
But I tried PHIXR online today and got some beautiful and very productive surprises. The first was an image for www.wickerplanter.com. The wicker furniture chair I shot had really uneven back lighting, cross shadows from natural light, and surface dirt . The online site I chose first, PHIXR.com, asked for a login but allowed free effects workups. So I browsed and uploaded my image file.
Randomly at PHIXR.com I selected a sepia tone effect, knowing this was not the ideal picture for that effect. Imagine my surprise when I got a clean white image presented. The whitewash effect that transformed the photo stunned me. I’ll remember this next time I need pure white finish in a image file.  The delicate cream white presentation made the wicker look more genteel and Victorian than any lens setting I could ever manage.
The best “shopping” tip for an online image editing and file processing application website is to concentrate on editing options your desktop applications does not have.
Unless you plan to wait for Internet processing of every file, it’s more advisable to plug in only those image files you know need sharpening, filtering, or glamorizing in some other way. But PHIXR.com allows multi- upload image tray working. You can see how one finishes before progressing to the next one already in work. It might the start of a beautiful friendship.
