Zoho, which makes an online office suite of 18 apps including word processor, spreadsheet, e-mail, chat, CRM, and Web conferencing, plans a couple of upgrades in the next two weeks.

The company plans the week of Sept. 29 to introduce an online app store for its Creator service. Creator is a drag-and-drop Ajax-based, browser-based platformfor database applications. Users can build apps such as customer record management, human resources, or tracking music collections, which are hosted on Zoho’s Creator database services.

Most other editing apps use adobe flash to get their stuff done. My own experience – especially in Google Chrome - is that most of the browser crashes are caused by flash. You tube videos, banner ads they all run on flash, but the little piece of magic from DrPic

If you want to edit photos in your web browser without loading Flash, Silverlight, Java, or any other heavy plug-in, check out DrPic.com, a surprisingly full-featured online image editor which works its magic completely in Javascript.

Image quaility in resizing is much better than Splashup

Picnik isn’t about trying to be an online Photoshop, but rather is intended as a way to give digital shutterbugs a convenient way to fix up their snapshots. Its competition in the installed software world is Picasa rather than Photoshop. But don’t think it’s a simple rotate and red-eye correcting app: Picnik offers plenty of impressive capabilities.

LifeHacker.com:

There’s quite a bit to Picnik, actually: you can do the basic resizes and tweaks that most other free image editors we’ve talked about here at Lifehacker can manage; however, Picnik also comes with some nifty special effects, and can be used with a whole plethora of community photo sharing sites, i.e., Flickr, Imageshack, Photobucket, etc. It’s not as powerful as Photoshop, naturally, but for a browser-based image editor, Picnik does a fine job.

It is a totally renewed concept completely designed for the online experience. In the signing upprocess you have to pretend you are from the US as it claims to available in the US only, but even in Mongolia it was possible to sign up without any trouble. That trouble is saved for the actual application, although the basic features – like cropping – work very well, there is no way i can get to import items from picasa, facebook or flickr. 

CNET:

 

Photoshop Express, available for free with 2 gigabytes of storage at www.photoshop.com/express, is a significant departure from Adobe’s desktop software business and a big bet that it can make money offering Web servicesdirectly to consumers.

The application, which needs Flash Player 9 to run, pushes the limits of browser-based applications and will likely ratchet up the competition on the dozens of free and online photo-editing products available now (see our full review of Photoshop Express and gallery of screen shots of the application).
