http://live.pirillo.com/ – The other night I posted a video about a new picture editing website. A user left a follow up comment to that video, letting me know of yet another new site. This one is very different, and MUCH better than anything I’ve seen to work with photos.

Last week, I posted a video about resizing photos on the web. I received some excellent feedback on it, including a link to this excellent new site.

rsizr.com is a photo editing site that utilizes what is being called ‘intelligent image resizing’. This site uses a new type of algorithm called seam carving. Instead of making the entire picture smaller or larger, it takes parts of an image, retargets it, and preserves the important pixels in the photo.

This couldn’t be simpler to do. Upload a photo, and choose your settings. Watch the red lightning bolt as it targets all the important parts of your picture… almost like magic. The best part, of course, is the fact that this awesome site is free!

http://live.pirillo.com/ – Have you ever wanted to be a cartoon? Wouldn’t it be great to live in cartoon-land? Well, now you can… even if it is just in pictures.

At befunky.com you can turn yourself, your friends, or any picture of your choosing into a cartoon! There are two separate parts of this great site. The “Cartoonizer” is where the user re-creates images/videos by turning them into digital paintings, cartoons and comics in just a few seconds without downloading any tool. The second one was Uvatar (coming from avatar where u represents “You”) which features an exact illustrated representation of its owner, including facial expressions!

Right now, Befunky is still in testing phase. You can join for free and help test by entering your email, and receiving an invite. Try it out! With just a few mouse clicks, you too can be a cartoon.

http://live.pirillo.com/ – Why install a program to do simple picture resizing and cropping? Instead, try the free and excellent resizr.com!

Resizr.com may lack a bit as far as layout design, but you cannot get any better with functionality. Simply upload a picture from your computer, or enter a direct URL, and you can then resize and crop your photos. There are preset resizing options, or you can customize them. It’s also a snap to check the size ratio of your project.

You can share your pictures once they are resized in many different ways: on the web, with MySpace codes, via E-Mail, and even send to your mobile phone!

All this for one low price… FREE!
