Ok, so lets say you need to edit a picture, but you don't have access to any high end image editing programs. What do you do?
Well, if you are reading this and have Flash installed, check this out:
A.viary.com
Its a suite of free Flash based tools. Right now its in beta, and by sign-up/invite only (sorry, I've used up all of my invites), but they are going to be releasing several tools. Right now they have released Phoenix (An image editor like Photoshop Elements. They name all their tools after birds), Peacock (a pattern generator. Great for textures, FYI), and Toucan (a pallet creator). They are also working on Hummingbird (a 3D modeler. I was able to *cough* "access" an old version and I'm slightly impressed), Raven (a vector program), and Woodpecker (a smart image editor, whatever that is).
In the future they will also release several other tools, such as an audio generator and editor, video editor, a painting simulator, font editor, and a terrain editor. Theres also something about storage, but I'm not sure about that.
If you sign up, if they ask you who referred you, please mention me (robotguy4)
