Amazingly high resolution photo, literally speaks volumes (pun intended). Using your browser you can peruse the room, zoom in and read the title of most of the books, not to mention the details of the beautiful  painting on the ceiling. The image is 280,000 x 140,000 pixels, approximately 40 gigapixels (40,000 megapixels). The photo is of the library within the Strahov Monastery in Prague, Czech Republic. Click on the photo and enjoy.

Edit your Photos online (without Photoshop)

4/25/2009

As much as I love Photoshop, its an expensive program, however, there are lots on online photo editing tools available for FREE...here are 28 of them. Each tool offers a variety of tools to edit, distort, and have fun with. I used "Picnik" to do some color correction on a photo of Alex (my son) sneaking up on an unsuspecting sea urchin (no worries, no sea urchins were harmed while filming) Jeffrey Eckhardt (14) was the photographer...nice shot.

Photoshop Express (from Photoshop)and FotoFlexer are online tools that weren't mentioned in the list (but should have been). If you use these tools for anything you can at least crop or reduce the photos before emailing your friends a super enlargement of their face you took with your 11 Megapixel camera ;). Check them out and have fun!

 Keith Loutit a Sydney, Australia-based photographer created a few very interesting tilt-shifted time-lapse short films. These short film clips give the viewer the impression that these are scenes of small models...very interesting and fun to view. " You can see more of his films on the Keith Loutit Vimeo page. Dave Allen is another creative person who used the tilt-shift lens filter in Photoshop to create a time-lapse video of three days  at the Cranford Rose Garden at Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

FotoFlexer - Full-featured online photo editor

3/6/2008

There are several online photo editors available, however, FotoFlexer appears to be the most full-featured to date. Try it before logging in, I think you will find it is easy-to-use with many of the expected features you might expect; but I was pleasantly surprised by the "Geek" tab for advanced options in addition to allow saving multiple layers. For the novice users it has an "Add a face" option which I'm sure we can use to brighten someone's day, happy photo editing.
