Finally got it to work. Feels a bit rough around the edges. Snipshot feels a bit more intuitive and right to me. I get it right off the bat. I like the dragging around area that kind of simulates a desktop. I guess it's kind of a balance between finding the tools that most people would use 90% of the time and not offering enough. Seems like Apple kind of covers this realm for me with iPhoto. Hmmm, seems interesting, although as I played around with pxn8.com and their crop tool, I get “Software error”. Finally got it to work.

I'm doing a lot of my quick image processing online now too. Photoshop takes to long to boot up sometimes, or if I'm in Windows (using bootcamp) where I don't have PShop, sometimes I just need an image resized or cropped. Enter my mainstays: pxn8.com or snipshot.com Give 'em a whirl. They won't replace Photoshop, but they are definitely useful for certain tasks. Actually, wrt to image processing.
