As it currently stands, Adobe is the king of software aiding the creative professional. Photoshop is the most famous Adobe offering, followed by such titles as Premiere and AfterEffects (video editing and effects), Illustrator (vector graphics), Flash and Dreamweaver (web design and animation), and Soundbooth and Audition (audio editing).
Ten years ago, it would’ve seemed silly to imagine any of these types of applications running in a web browser. Well, it’s 2010, and here we have it:
The online (and free) Aviary suite includes:
- Image Editor (an alternative to Adobe Photoshop)
- Vector Editor (an alternative to Adobe Illustrator)
- Audio Editor (an alternative to Adobe Soundbooth)
- Color Editor
- Effects Editor
- Image Markup
- Screen Capture
I can already here die-hard Photoshop and Illustrator users screaming, “Aviary’s apps are not professional tools! These are toys!.” I’ll agree with the first statement. People who are used to the complete power of a tool like Photoshop will have a hard time transitioning to Aviary’s Image Editor. However, an intermediate user who doesn’t dig as deep into every single feature would probably feel right at home with Aviary’s image editor.
They may not be professional, but these are tools, not toys. Don’t believe me? Take a look at some popular Aviary creations and see for yourself.
Ironically, all of this software designed to compete with Adobe’s products are built using none other than Adobe’s Flash.
You have nothing to lose! Head on over to Aviary to give the free tools a try: http://aviary.com
