Trying out this online image editing program called Phoenix. It's in closed Beta testing at the moment.

Part of a bunch of online editing programs from here: a.viary.com

Apparently i have a few invites if any one is interested

FAQ
Is it any good?

<sup>It's very good for an online application. I was impressed with the number of features, having only used a few other online photo editors before which were rather limited.

This one has quite a lot of the main features you need. I'd say it's about even with GIMP in some ways. It is sadly lacking in adjustment layers though, which i find hard to live without and having to upload a photo to work on it slows things down a lot.

Uploading an unedited JPG from most cameras is around 2-4mb. Maybe double that for a RAW photo. Unless you have very fast broadband it's a bit tedious.

It's pretty cool that it keeps all the source images and automatically keeps revisions of the work as you save it, so you can always go back.

Here's the link to the actual work which others can apparently edit (with all the layers, etc): a.viary.com/imagedetail?fguid=c9d62232-3087-102b-844c-003...

If you want to see what it is capable of, check out Meowza's work. Very impressive stuff. It does show that it's really not the tools, it's the way you can use them. Though, i dare say that generally Photoshop as a tool allows you to do things more quickly and in a less destructive way than other tools.</sup>
