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.

Sumo Paint is a powerful web based image editor, which looks similar to Adobe Photoshop.
Sumo Paint was built using Adobe Flash and it lets users to create and modify image online. It even lets users to upload image from their own computer.
Sumo Paint offers simple but powerful tools for users to create image online. The final results can be saved into your computer or store online. You can share your image to other users through the gallery feature.
Although the entire website (including its main page) was built using flash, but the loading speed is quite fast, which is an advantage compare to other flash-based application.
There are some other similar services such as Photoshop Express, Splashup, and Picnik.

Adobe had launched its free web-based photoshop – Photoshop Express, which is free and let users to edit photo online.
Adobe had use “Express” for the free version of Photoshop, which i felt a bit similar with Microsoft’s free version of Visual Studio which called Visual Studio Express Edition. Basically, Photoshop Express is not only a web-based photo editor, it is also a place for users to store and share photo.
Although we can’t expect Photoshop Express to has same function with Photoshop CS3, but at least Photoshop Express provide the basic tools for users to edit photo and share it with friends. After you create your account, you will be given a subdomain http://username.photoshop.com, and also 2GB of storage.
Another interesting feature is that Photoshop Express allow users to directly load image from Facebook, Photobucket, and Picasa for edit. After finish edit the image, users can choose to email it to friends or get the direct link to the edited image.
Although there are a lot of similar service which start earlier than Adobe, but i believe Adobe manage to fight them as Adobe is a well-known company which focus on Image processing.

So, how much you earn per image view? Let’s take an example and i will show you the calculation:
- Let say Shareapic want to distribute $1000 between their users and there are 5000,000 images view for that particular month. So, each image view will equal to $0.0002, which means $0.2 per 1000 images view. So, if you have a forum or blog which have lots of readers everyday, you can imagine how much can you earn per month? It is quite a bit of money, right?
