This month’s free online Photoshop alternative by Jason

… is Pixlr.  And despite the silly Web 2.0 name (what is it with these people?), based on a quick review it seems impressive.  Of course, those of us who depend on Photoshop are likely to be so deeply ingrained in the basic workings of PS that it would be torture to change; in my review of Pixlr I realized that I don’t know how to fill a selection without keyboard shortcuts.  But I can see a lot of ways it might come in handy… say, you can’t connect to the internet on your laptop, and have to make a quick change to a JPG comp from someone else’s computer before a meeting.  Who knows?  But it’s neat.
