Hi folks -- here's an item on free online image editing tools that you might be interested in, courtesy of.... BloggingStocks?
Well, I guess financial-types need to cut photos too.
They're all simple, Web-based tools for when you have to do a quick resize or cropping of an image -- like when you take a big photo (say, 800x600) and squeeze it into a smaller space for your blog (like 500x375).
Remember, if you use a full-size image and just mash it into your page, it can look funny. Plus, for really big files -- like the ones you download off your digital camera -- if you just put them into your page as-is, you'll slow down your page loading for no real benefit. (For example, my camera is set to 3.2 megapixels -- the photos come off the camera at 2048x1536, and a whopping 748k, or about 3/4ths of a megabyte of file size. That adds up, even over high-speed.)
Anyway, take a look at the article for some free suggestions (Note: I haven't tried them yet, and they probably work best if you have the Firefox browser) -- it should hold you over until Adobe gets around to putting up a free, online version of Photoshop later this year.
Also, I've been promising an entry about adding photos you've uploaded via File Manager, which I will get to this week, but there will also be some improvements to the way you add photos and video to your blog entries in the next release (within a few weeks.)
Thanks -- Joe

Sounds good. File manager still gives me fits sometimes. I am high speed now so it does not bother me as much
lol
Joe,
Thanks so much for the link about Adobe! I have Paint Shop Pro and Microsoft Picture It # 9 Photoshop but would love to have the Adobe. However, we can't afford $800 (or at least that's how much it cost a year ago) This way, people can at least try it before they buy it which makes a lot of sense!
Thanks again.
Dianna
