I finally got around to testing my first of Aviary‘s web-based applications, codenamed Phoenix. I really like what I see. Built intuitively with an interface similar to Photoshop or GIMP, Phoenix is a niftly flash based Image Editor.

I was impressed by their teaser back in July, and must admit this first tool alone was somewhat worth the wait.

The tools in Phoenix work well. Although  my Photoshop shortcus are rather useless I enjoyed playing around with my above picture online. The blur filter did not work exactly as I wanted it to. But I think that with a little more getting used to I could use Phoenix for main basic Image editing needs.

Now I will have to soon try out Adobe’s own online solution.
