Yay Photos!

Adobe just released Photoshop Express - a free online photo hosting service and editor. It looks really promising; this app really impressed me. It has tons of little features but all presented very well and simple, in my opinion. The application was done in Flex and offers these features that anyone can use for free.

• Photo hosting (2GB)
• Load/Browse photos from Facebook, PhotoBucket, and Picasa (Google)
• Edit photos
• Preview edits in live mode and with scenario example previews
• Make 2D/3D slideshows (that rock!) and even share them (perfect for portfolios and photographers)
• Full-screen mode (awesome!)
• Share photos/galleries
• Rate photos

For those who visited this year's FrOSCon, those who wanted but couldn't and anyone else interested in this event, have a look at the links page of the froscon wiki, where you find links to photos and blog posts about FrOSCon 2007.

Thanks to the people who organized and helped making FrOSCon a really cool event, those who did presentations and those who attended. Special thanks to Robert Douglass for making the Drupal track possible this year.

I just finished a simple but powerful module that really improves the quality of thumbnails and preview images. It adds a touch of sharpening and converts all derivative images to a color profile of your choice (such as sRGB). This is especially useful if you're using "professional" color profiles such as AdobeRGB since colors often look faded with those profiles if the browser isn't color profile aware.

I know people have been doing sharpening and stuff like this before in Drupal, but I don't think there is a module that does it for you, without patches... until now! All you need besides image.module is ImageMagick.

I haven't uploaded this to CVS yet, 'cause I was hoping that some of you would like to try it out and give me some feedback. Bad spelling, bad name, fundamental flaws? Good stuff? Let me know!

Update: Project added: image_enhanced_scaling

I need some examples of nice media sites for the Greenpeace UK demo. I already have ourmedia.org - but it would be nice to show a site that did good "photo". Help!
