Adobe's Photoshop.com offers a free, cloud-based version to the desktop version of Photoshop.

Photoshop has become the industry standard for image editing. But for those without access to the desktop version who need to carry out basic image-editing tasks, Adobe has a free online alternative. Just point your browser to Photoshop.com, where you can upload images to edit and then save them to your desktop computer.

The functionality isn’t as extensive as the desktop version, but you can perform basic functions such as cropping, tweaking exposure and basic color corrections. There’s also a version available for mobile phones.

Aviary.com lets you grab a screenshot of any website

Need to make a screen capture of a website? That’s much simpler to do when the site neatly fits the size of your monitor, but most don’t. To avoid having to piece together a series of screenshots to capture a single webpage, use Aviary’s screen capture tool. Try Talon, an online tool from Aviary.

Talon allows you to simply input the webpage you’d like captured, then it creates a file you can crop, edit and eventually save to your computer to print or insert into a document.
