Online Photo Editing

By DSLRBlog Editors | Published March 8, 2006

Wow this PXN8 is pretty neat. While it won’t compete with Photoshop, or even Picassa for that matter, if you are out on the road or in a cyber cafe and need a quick little bit of photo editing this is the perfect tool. It is all web based so completely online and allows crop, zoom, resize, redeye etc. You can even send the results directly to Flickr if you don’t want to save to your disk.

PXN8 is an online image editor with a user interface developed with standard web technologies (HTML, CSS and JavaScript) which are available by default on all modern web browsers.

See it at pxn8.com

Until Flickr incorporates the functionality in the main site, as they inevitably will, this is quite a cool partner to Flickrs features!

Merge Good Bits of Bad Photographs

By DSLRBlog Editors | Published January 18, 2006

Scoble points to a new piece of software from Microsoft Research that allows you to take the good bits from bad photographs to make one great shot. For example if you have taken two snaps, one where someone blinked and another where someone is pulling a face, you can take the open eyes and the smiles and make a new good picture!

Microsoft Research Group Shot

MSR Group Shot helps you create a perfect group photo out a series of group photos. With Group Shot you can select your favorite parts in each shot of the series and Group Shot will automatically build a composite image.

You know what? The results are pretty good! Below is a composite of several truly awful pictures where there was at least one person in each pulling a face. Even though I am still not entirely happy everyone is smiling properly it is a heck of a lot better than the originals!

Thanks Microsoft!
