Class 8 Homework - Pixlr Image and Review

Pixlr is a great Cloud Based graphics program that has the look and feel of Adobe Photoshop and other similar programs.  Having worked with both Photoshop and Gimpshop (freeware alternative) I found Pixlr very easy to use.  The main advantage of this application over Photoshop is the cost.  Adobe products come with a big price tag.  Another thing I liked was the ease of use and the fact that since it is a web application it is not operating system dependent.  I own an Adobe suite for PC but cannot run it when using Mac OS.  Compared to Gimpshop it is far superior since Gimp  does not have the stability of Photoshop especially when using it with the skin that makes it look like Photoshop.  While operating in a cloud environment would seem to be a good alternative to keeping data on a hard drive that might crash, I have some concerns about security of proprietary images when operating in this medium.
