Here is a pretty cool web tool that will allow you to manipulate photos on location when you might not have access to powerful tools like Photoshop.  Also, you can give it access to your flickr account and it will sync up with all your sets.

Picnik offers a more advanced tool for about 25 bucks a year but I just can’t seem to justify paying that.  Considering I have access to Photoshop the king of photo manipulation.

Resizor is basically a way to fit photos into whatever size image you may need.  Like extending images for banners or fitting images into nonstandard devices like cell phones.  This product is really interesting to see in action but seeing photos squash and stretch send chills down my spine.  In the wrong hand this could be really bad.  I already see too many people not able to grasp the concept of proportionately scaling images. 

The inventor is extremely talented and I thought I heard that he was hired on at Adobe.  So, I’m sure we’ll be seeing something very similar in the new Photoshop very soon.

Here is another Resizor type site that my twitter friend Tom Chapin says is way better.  Thanks Tom.

I love what people are doing with interior design, vinyl and some craft designs.  You must check out these two sites e-glue(FR)  and Blink.

Finally we can stop putting Calvin pissing on stuff and these messed up memorials messages on cars.  What is up with those?  I have access to my own vinyl cutter so I think I might litter my child’s Potter closet with cute creatures.

Now with flash mainly being used for video and site accent pieces, traditional web design using CSS or AJAX seems so much cooler. Screenfluent covers the total spectrum of cool web design and current trends. If you’re lacking something in your designs I bet you can find a good idea somewhere on this site.
