Image editing with no install: Sumo Paint 1.1/1.0

Sumo Paint 1.1/1.o (if you don't have Flash 10)
http://www.sumo.fi

I don't know about you, but I am a big fan of the Gimp and have been using it for years. It's a huge step up (leap, really) from Microsoft Paint, and it is a few small steps below Photoshop. Of course, the Gimp is free and it truly is hard to beat for the price.

In the last couple of years as 'cloud computing' has become the buzzphrase in the IT industry, we've seen a lot of different online applications become available for general use by the public.

In the genre of image editing, Piknik has been the biggest name, offering much of the same capabilities as Picasa, but again - this doesn't really let you create your own masterpieces. So, Sumo has found a niche that fits nicely with the other cloud apps.

Sumo features the following:
  • Layers with blending modes
  • Layer effects
  • Shape tools
  • Brush tool
  • Ink tool
  • Text tool
  • Clone stamp tool
  • Eraser tool
  • Filters
  • Gradient tool
  • Gravity
  • Custom shape tool
  • Shape trails
  • Symmetry Tool
  • Transform tool
  • Magic wand tool
  • Lasso tool
  • Smudge tool
  • Blur tool
  • Line tool
...all in Flash.

Operating Sumo is almost identical to running a locally installed application - you can open and save local files, copy & paste and much more.

Honestly, this is one of the coolest implementations of Flash I've ever seen.

Check it out and let us know what you think!
