Launched in June 2012, Ribbet is what could be considered the next best thing to Picnik which was closed down by Google in April 2012. Fans of Picnik have been searching for an adequate replacement and Ribbet might just be the answer.

Webapp

Ribbet is free and doesn’t require a registration or sign-in via social network in order to use the web service. As quickly as uploading a photo users can start editing and manipulating the look of a photo. The Ribbet interface is fairly standard with a large window for the photo and all manner of editing tools aligned on the left sidebar.

The tabs across the top provide quick access to a user’s library of photos, the editing window and save and share options.

Editing

There are an enormous amount of editing options. The library of filters and effects are nearly endless with additional manipulations involving stickers, frames and predefined touch-ups making for a real project studio type environment. There are so many different choices when it comes to altering photos that we simply could not list them all without having pages filled with feature labels.

Beyond what you’d expect and what is offered in the way of altering photos there are advanced editing options. Advanced editing includes items such as levels control, dodging and others, all of which are available with the Premium package.

Ribbet doesn’t end there either. With text edits, users can add typography to their photos. Choose from literally dozens of different fonts with specialty categories like Halloween and Holiday Fonts.

Sharing

Currently users can share their photos to Flickr and Facebook with the added ability to print and download their photo creations.

Premium

Premium members get unlimited access to the premium features and edit options. To celebrate their launch, Ribbet Premium is free with the only requirement being registration.

Final Thoughts

There are a handful of online photo editors available and with the loss of Picnik users have been trying many of them only to find themselves wanting more. Ribbet is a step beyond other cloud options we’ve looked at and delivers on numerous editing features with quality results.

With Ribbet Premium free for the time being, it’s a wise move to get in and try out this service to see if it can be your simple Photoshop in the cloud.

You’ve probably heard of photoshopping or the Photoshop effect. It describes the process of retouching a photo to make it visually more appealing or otherwise mask accuracy in an image. PicTreat does something similar, but at a much lower learning curve and more specific in its task.

PicTreat is a free online image editing tool that, in a single click improves facial photographs. The process is performed by their facial recognition, detection and correction technology which examines uploaded photos and returns an altered, presumably improved photo. Obviously any alterations are a matter of opinion on improvement quality, but there can be no doubt that PicTreat does manipulate photos to produce a new, unique image.

Some examples of PicTreat’s corrections include removal of large blemishes, red eye, pale skin features, faded or mis-colored photos, even freckle removal. Users don’t need to choose parts of photos for removal, PicTreat determines that on its own. Afterwards, users can view the treated photo along with the original to see real time changes.

Photos can be uploaded through the web interface directly from a computer or via URL. Users who create a sign-in can use photos acquired through Facebook, MySpace, Flickr and Photobucket. Final results are shareable and PicTreat offers more than 25 different sharing options.
