There are a lot of web based photo editing tool, such as Pixlr, Sumo Paint, PhotoShop Express, Picnik, and etc. These application required no installation, and cross-platform. As long as you have Flash plugin installed and an internet enabled PC, you can use them.
Dr. Pic is another web based photo editing tool, which doesn’t require Flash plugin – It use AJAX!
There are a lot of things that you can do with this AJAX photo editing tool, for example resize, crop, rotate, brush, sharpen, oil paint, and etc. After editing the image, you can save it as jpg, bmp, gif, and png format. You may also choose the quality of the saved image.
It is useful if you use a computer which doesn’t install Flash plugin. But since Dr. Pic using AJAX, i believe some old browser like IE5 may not rander it well. So ,you better use a modern browser like Firefox 3 or IE7.

Pixlr is a new web-based image editor. Its interface is pretty simple, and the loading speed is very fast. There are some other similar services which i introduce before, such as Sumo Paint, Photoshop Express, Splashup, and Picnik.
There are a lot of tools which you can use. For example, they provide marquee tool, stamp tool, blur tool, filter, and even add new layer to the image!
The entire application is based on flash and contains almost all features of a basic image editing sotfware. You may give it a try if you want a simple yet fast web based image editing tool.

Do you think that it is possible to edit and modify website within your browser, just like editing a wiki website? Yes, it is possible!
Edit current website is a bookmarklet button. When you press the button, you can start edit the website, within install any other plugin or extension.
The modified website will stay until you press the refresh button. It is very useful when you want to take a print screen of certain website, but you want to modify the content. Instead of edit the content thrpugh image editing software, you can now do it within your browser.
In the example above, i had modified the radio button’s text to “Search this planet?“. Cool? So, how to add this bookmarklet to your browser? Simply drag this “Edit current website” and drop it to your browser’s toolbar.
Enjoy!

FireShot is a Firefox plugin which let you capture any website shapshot and you are able to perform simple editing to it.
I had go through SuperScreenshot, which is a screenshot generator for website. But, if i want to add some text or comments on the image, i have to download the image and use any image editing tools, which take longer time for me to perform such simple works. So, i try to google any Firefox plugin which can capture website screenshot and perform simple image editing features. Finally, i found FireShot, a great plugin but simple to use.
First of all, you can choose either capture the visible area or the entire page. After that, you can start edit the image capture using the tools provide. For example, you can draw lines or add text. The other editing tools which provided are Crop, Fill, Blur, Glow, Invert and much more.
The screenshot can be saved into PNG, JPEG, or BMP formats. Furthermore, you have options to export this image to your external image editing tools or email it immediately.
Note: If you like Firefox plugin which can capture screenshot without perform any editing tools, you can refer to Screengrab! and Pearl Crescent Page Saver
FireShot extension page
