This remarkably functional web-based image creator/editor looks and operates like Photoshop, yet it’ll run in any Flash-enabled browser.
How professional is this image editor? Check out the features: layers with blending, layer effects, shape tools, brush tool, text tool, clone stamp tool, eraser tool, filters, gradient tool, transform tool, magic wand tool, lasso tool, smudge tool, blur tool, line tool, etc…
Sumo Paint also has some neat tricks of its own. The ink tool lets you adjust ink wetness, or paint with bevelled ink — almost as if you were squeezing oil paint from a tube. I also like the symmetry and the curve tool.
Sumo Paint is free. There are no adverts or any evidence of a business model behind the operation. I must say I’m impressed with how desktop-like a cloudy application can be.
With eyeOS you can work online (personally or collaboratively) with your files and contacts, yo can synchronize your local files, work with office documents, stream your music and movies and much more.
Why it is the perfect tool for the modern photographer? Just think about it. Being able to work from everywhere, despite of using a full featured modern computer, a mobile gadget or a completely obsolete pc. Working from different places and countries in the same projects. Enjoying always the same applications with the same open formats. Being able to continue working if you have to leave your local computer or if it just crashes, without loosing data or time in solving its problems: Just log in to your eyeOS from another place and continue working.
