Online Photoshop Substitute

We previously told you about Adobe's subscription service for their very popular programs like Photoshop. 

But for those that won't need these tools very often, it’s probably had to justify paying $50 a month. 

Even buying an older version will cost hundreds of dollars, so today’s tip is about an option that's both easy and free! 

Pixlr.com is a pretty complete photo editor that will work with nothing more than a web browser, so there are no downloads required and no money! 

It’s got many of the tools that are popular in Photoshop, so you will have no problem making use of them. 

You can start using Pixlr in seconds and there is no need to register to use it. 

Here are just a few of the options in this free tool: red eye reduction, cloning tools, spot healing, drawing tools and the very useful sharpen and blur tools.

You can also use filters that will mimic HDR, glamor glows, tilt shift, vignettes, and noise adjustments. 

You can of course control the very important tools: Contrast, Levels, Curves, Hue,, Brightness and Saturation

Now when someone sends you a Photoshop file, you can use Pixlr to open them too.
