• Can’t Afford Photoshop? Try Pixlr!

    by  • August 10, 2012 • News

    Good morning, my wonderful geek army! You guys may have noticed that finding a clean copy of Photoshop CS6 to torrent purchase is becoming more and more difficult with these password-protected torrents purchases being offered. Ever try GIMP? Yeah, GIMP sucks a goat’s hairy balls and I wouldn’t come near it with a ten foot open-source pole.

    The future is in the cloud, and for this application, PIXLR, you get to use a Photoshop-like clone that operates completely from the cloud. No sign-up, no memberships, no ads, no BS limitations. PIXLR is what made me remove Photoshop 7 from my WINE install under Debian Linux (for those of you unfamiliar with these words, linux requires an interpretter/wrapper called WINE to run windows apps)

    Check out the comparison below, and when you are done, give PIXLR a shot! http://pixlr.com/editor/
