A Web-Based Photoshop Alternative – Splashup.com

February 6th, 2008 by Joshua Dorkin | Filed under Blogging, Productivity.

I just discovered a very cool site that promises to do to Adobe Photoshop what all of the web-based Google Desktop applications have done to Office. The website, Splashup, emulates Photoshop quite well, and is a must for any newbie blogger or web-designer who is strapped for cash and unwilling to buy PS.

I definitely recommend the site and hope that the developers continue to build up the features that are available.

    This looks very promising! I bought PhotoShop Elements and only use 1% of what it can do. I think I bought way over my head.

    I have begun blogging when i take a break from the free gaming sites and i now seem to be spending more time on the later as there is so much good stuff out there. Please keep up the good work as i will coming back regulary to look at you blogs/tips

    From what I’ve been reading lately, this is the future of all softwar. Web-based rather than installed on you PC. This site seems like a great resource. Many times I’ve been using PCs that don’t have image software installed. It’s handy to be able to edit a picture on the fly.

    Wow this is fantastic! Definitely gonna try it out. I hope its not too slow.

  5. Ash | 15/02/08

    Thanks for sharing. It will be very useful tool for me. I am currently using Photoshop CS2 and Gimp 2 and having an online equivalent will mean I can design anywhere and not be restricted to the PC where the software is installed.

    No way to compete with photoshop, is just the best tools for graphics edition

  7. Chris | 17/02/08

    These looks like it could be a pretty useful tool. Like the idea of being able to edit online (especially when my own version of Photoshop crashes more than a bad F1 driver)

    I hope that Splasup will really change the technique of working. It is really going to make the work very easy and fast as compared from Photoshop.

    For the average developer PS is more program than they will ever need, and at a large expense. It is nice to know there is a decent alternative.

    There’s also Picnik: http://www.picnik.com

    thanks! Even though I already have photoshop I will experiment with this.

  12. Max Miroff | 2/03/08

    Oh, woah, this seems cool. I have Photoshop, but I’ll have to check this out.

    Great find!

  13. çocuk oyunları | 3/03/08

    i must try this it is ver amazing

  14. Chriss Weddingring | 7/03/08

    I always used to need PhotoShop and the biggest problem has been, finding it and installing it. I see that Splushup is going to change this totally. Thanks for the info.

    There are a lot of people in the market which do our work at a very low price. This is a very good practice of making others do your work at a very low price. This helps us a lot to concentrate on our important work.

  16. Biodun | 13/03/08

    Thanks of sharing this, looks quite cool. goona try it out!

  17. Natalie de Guzman | 16/03/08

    Oh my! This is cool. I should try this.

  18. Expat | 17/03/08

    I have seen it an it is really a nice one. But what about professional work?? It can’t meet my need.

  19. job | 18/03/08

    This is amazing!! i should try it later on :)

  20. keya | 18/03/08

    Will this work with a slower internet connection? And also are there all the features as photoshop has?

  21. NILESH MISHRA | 23/03/08

    nice blog, thanks for sharing.

  22. Jordan | 29/03/08

    Stumbled across your blog and thought I’d share a recent development. Wired just wrote an article on the newest beta program from Photoshop, “Photoshop Express,” that is free for the public to use: http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2008/03/adobe-photoshop.html.
    It’s an online version of PS with simple features for anyone to access at no price. Looks promising!

  23. camping tents | 31/03/08

    Hey nice little find Josh, I like it, ideal when your not at your home PC and need to do some photo editing for blogs or what not.

    Thanks

  24. Young Money Habits | 1/04/08

    Wow! This is great. I use about 3 features of photoshop. I’ll have to look into this more but from first glance it looks like it will handle 95% of what I need to do. Thanks for sharing.

  25. Chennai Super Kings | 4/04/08

    Thats an awesome tool. Thanks. Ive heard of fotoshop but this one is new.

  26. V | 10/04/08

    Being somewhat of an artist myself i just had to check this site. I must say I was impressed. This online drawing app has all the basic function the mass user needs and is in fact easier to use and more useful than some commercial products I own. In fact i think I’m going to use it quite often myself. Thanks for the great post!

  27. Adam | 5/05/08

    I use Photoshop to design all of my web graphics, but this looks like a great alternative.

    thanks…Hey nice little find Josh, I like it, ideal when your not at your home PC and need to do some photo editing for blogs or what not.

  29. webshop | 12/05/08

    This is amazing, very very nice tool. I like photshop more, but this is a good second option.

  30. Ek kian | 25/05/08

    if you looking for free photoshop alternative then consider GimPhoto.

    Actually GimPhoto is GIMP modification with new PS menu layout, packed with many great plugins, such as: separation, save for web, batch process, noise removal and photography filters, and also improved with new brushset, new gradientset, every aspect is tweaked to improve user usability.

    At first I was going to dismiss this as a bad attempt to clone Photoshop as many others have tried to do, and failed might I add. However, after I really took a look into… well, I loved it. It has basically all the same features as Photoshop (minus some of the more advanced ones), which makes it very convient as I can just open another tab and edit my images. Bookmarking the tool for sure, thanks for spreading the word about it.

  32. Oyun | 18/08/08

    WOW! That is a wonderful link and tool. I am amazed to see that. They offer pretty cool techniques and ways to create graphics…!

  33. buy metal detector | 29/08/08

    Thanks for the link to the image editor. I tried gimp, but man, that was very confusing for me. I hope splash up is easier.

  34. andrew | 29/08/08

    Yeah, the splashup is a good place where you can edit your pin

  35. kelebek | 8/09/08

    Adobe may jump on it early at NAB 2007

  36. billeater | 11/09/08

    Not on topic with web-based alternatives, but anyone looking for photoshop like capabilities, but smaller and lighter, should check out Paint.Net … it’s free, pretty high quality, and in between mspaint and photoshop in complexity.

  37. Gerri - Show Me The Money | 18/09/08

    Thanks a lot for that!!!
    I have been looking around for something that can do bits of pieces of what photoshop can. I can’t justify spending the money to buy it.
    This looks like just what I have been looking for.

  38. shaw | 26/09/08

    Yes, Paint.net is a good tool. I use it to make quick banners for some of my WP sites.
