1 comment
Fotoflexer claims to be the “world’s most advanced online image editor”. It can create dazzling photo effects in your browser and is packed with amazing features. It is an evolution for shutterbugs who love to share images via Facebook, Flickr, Picasa and the like.

Fotoflexer image editorPros: Fotoflexer is a highly useful online image editor. It is jam-packed with features and effects and its user interface is pretty easy to understand and is above average. It offers services which its competitors even dare to attempt. Easily exports and imports photos from famous social networking sites.
Cons: High resolution photo editing makes the process slower and there is lack of direct printing ability. Advertisements are slightly heavy.
Bottom Line: FotoFlexer might not be the best but is still good. Its unique editing tools and support for many social sites makes it a good photo editor. 

"With its leader Picnik down for good, here comes the contender into action. It is filled with image –processing tools and all sorts of editing features that can reduce red-eyes."

fotoflexer rating 4 out of 5Rating: 4/5


Quick Glance:


The interface of FotoFlexer can proceed to image editing directly and does not require a sign up. The interface is supportive to low-bandwidth computers. But High Resolution image editing is slightly sluggish even now. You can add a photo by uploading it or by importing it from Facebook, Photobucket, Flickr, Phanfare, Picasa, Smugmug and MySpace or by inserting the URL of the image. If you do not want to edit your image but want to try FotoFlexer you can prefer the easy Start which gives you 3 images for trying it out.

User Interface of Fotoflexer
The Fotoflexer's user interface allows easy adding and editing of your photos.

FotoFlexer’s User Interface:

The Fotoflexer offers tabbed interface which has options such as Basic, Effects, Decorate, Animations, Beautify, Distort, Layers and Geek. Each tab has about 4-32 effects that can fix red eyes, crop images, remove blemishes, change hair colors, removes wrinkles, and for miscellaneous editing works. The organization of the effects under tab is difficult at the start as to find which effects are under which tab, but when get used to FotoFlexer for a while, it becomes easy for usage.

The Effects:


The effects are many but not numerous. The Basic Tab contains effects such as Auto fix, Fix Red eyes, crop, resizing and rotating options and to adjust the hue, saturation and adjust brightness and contrast and it even allows creating beautiful collages.
The Effects tab has Posterize, Heartify, Comic, Invert, Grayscale, Painting and cartoon effects to name a few. Under the Decorate Tab you can add Text and glittering texts, draw and erase, fill with a color, insert a face and do such funny things.  The beautify tab could really beautify your photos by removing wrinkles and blemishes, smooths and sharpens your skin. 
Animations Tab has options to add stars and stickers. Twirl, Bulge and stretch options could be found under the Distort Tabs. The Layers Tab has options that deal with adding images and grouping them. The most unique options are under the Geek Tab, which has Smart re-size, Smart Color, Cutout, Scissors, curves, and Morph options.


 

Photo Editing Experience In FotoFlexer:


Testing it with one of the provided images in the easy start options was pretty easy. The interface loaded as quickly as possible even on a low bandwidth computer. This is a really well put together app that could make a solid piece of standalone software. The editing of low resolution images was a breeze. But when comes to high resolution, the interface became sluggish and overall process slowed down a little bit.

 

Social and Storage:

The application has support to import and export photos from social networking and photo sharing site like Facebook, Photobucket, Flickr, Phanfare, Picasa, Smugmug and MySpace.  Fotoflexer offers unlimited storage but the image once saved is saved and the effects cannot be undone.

Conclusion:

Fotoflexer offers unique effects and features and also has many useful editing options. Its effects are in no way close to Adobe Photoshop but why should it be? It is free its interface does not require a 3 month course (Like Photoshop) at your nearest computer center for using it and it does not come with a heavy price tag. So we recommend it for you.
