Today was a beautiful day…so we decided to head out to DC. While visiting the National Cherry Blossoms this afternoon, I noticed how many people have digital cameras, including myself. A lot of people will probably go home and leave the images on their cameras until the memory if full at which point they will download the images and burn it onto a DVD for storage purposes. Some images may be uploaded so they can be purchased but a majority will be stored away in some shelf. Well, now we have another option. Web 2.0 technology sites like Aviary now offer people like us some useful photo editing tools. Websites like these offer a lot of options not just for photo editing. This website promotes creativities in many different ways through its various tools. Below each is described but I recommend visiting the site itself…some are just so cool you have to try them yourself (at least check out the images some users have created).
One tool available to users is one that would be expected at a site like this, photo editing capability called Phoenix. This includes things such as touching up an image to more complex options. The next tool is called “Raven” and provides the ability for the user to create scalable vector art appropriate for things like logos and tee shirts. The next tool is called Toucan and allows users to use various color palettes so they can enhance the color quality of their images. The next one, Peacock has so many features that a wiki has been dedicated to it to help users understand all of the features and capabilities of this toolbox. It is describes as a “ hub (node) based effect/pattern generating application.” The images some have created are pretty nice…see below.

There are other products offered as well and various blogs and wikis associated with the site to promote collaboration and community knowledge dissemination. This site seems to be attracting a lot of foot traffic as seen through the various comments and topics written about. If you become found of the site, you can receive RSS feeds on things like Product updates and twitter updates.
