ImageChef Photo Fun

ImageChef has it all - Tattoos, Tree Carvings, Team Jerseys, Word Mosaics, id cards, photo frames, sketchpads, animations, license plates and much much more. However - all the free versions have either limited resolution or watermarks on the images. You have to pay for the best versions. You can also link your images with Facebook and other social networks.

One of the strengths of Imagechef is the community. Joining groups is a great way to share your work in a community of like minded individuals as well as get inspired by other users. In addition to groups there are many user created templates that you can work with. So with ImageChef you have frequent updates because of this large community of users.

You also have an option for an Apple iPhone or iPad version of Imagechef. Pick photos from your library, or take a fresh one with the iPhone's camera. Once you pick your picture, just swipe your finger and scroll through all of the scenes with your photo already applied!

PicMonkey is an entirely Web-based editor is fast and effective, and among the cleanest interface (PicMonkey and Ribbet will be fighting for that title) for a photo editor (Web or desktop) that I've come across. In the left-hand column you see all of your options. And that includes everything from basics likes cropping and rotating to a full array of air-brushing edits. In Picnik style, you can add icons and text and throw a frame around a photo. Basic edits consist of crop, resize, rotate, as well as color tweaking and sharpening. There is also an auto adjust button much like the one that was among Picnik's top features. There is a free version or an option to upgrade to a premium PicMonkey version which is quite affordable and worthwhile if you edit photos on a regular basis.
