Great new (FREE!) online graphics tool... SUMO Paint

Category Cool Software
Today one of my bosses at work blogged about a really cool Flash-based graphics program called SUMO Paint...

A picture named M2

I think I'm already addicted!

It takes care of most of the things I do on a regular basis, like cropping for screen prints or emails.  I liked the easy color gradient tool, as that could be useful for button or page backgrounds.  Quite a few of the effects like smudging, erasing, magic wand, and so forth are also there for your use.

I normally use a rather old version of Paint Shop Pro for my graphic needs.  I know I should be using GIMP, but I just haven't taken the time.  It may even take me longer to do that now, as I think SUMO Paint might just end up being my "Go To" option for my day-to-day graphic needs.

I also like the fact that it's web-based with no installation.  Therefore, when I'm trying to explain to someone at work how to create or modify some image, I can direct them here and there's no fuss or hassle with requesting licenses of more robust graphics software of which they'll use maybe .5% of the features.

Gravatar Image2 - fyi, used this today for a real quick graphic. Just needed some color for a table cell formula. Emoticon

Gravatar Image3 - Very cool tool.Thanks for the heads up. I am now using this with increasing frequency. I love the way it does layers - very Photoshop like - without the cost.
