Quick web images editing from Firefox

By Percy Cabello

Snipshot web siteSnipshot is a web service that allows to edit pictures directly from a web location or uploaded from your computer. Edit is limited to crop, scale, rotate (in 90 degrees increments), tweak brightness, contrast, saturation, hue and sharpness; and, most valuable, saving as GIF, JPG, PDF, TIF, PNG or PSD to your computer, Flickr or Webshots; but it can save the day when you are away of your computer and your preferred image editor is not at hand or just don’t want to launch a new application for such a simple fix.

Snipshot is the eponymous Firefox extension developed by Greg Dingle that brings Snipshot functionality closer to Firefox. Once installed, just right-click on an image and select Edit in Snipshot to automatically load the image to Snipshot for that quick edit. The additional menu item for Resize and Enhace seems innecesary and clutters the context menu and I would prefer a new tab instead of reusing the same page for editting the image.

That’s a great review. I knew about Snipshot but not about the extension – will check it out.

I agree that it would be nice if extensions kept context menu items to a minimum. The context menu (and the tools menu) quickly become extremely cluttered nowadays.
