Pimp it

I really like the idea behind Picturesque . An easy to use interface to prepare and improve your pictures for the web very fast.
But there are some bad things... Called "No open source" which means you have to pay money as also no availability for other platforms. Additionally to have some other features would be cool.

PicturePimp was born

Because of these reasons I decided to create my own tool, implemented with java. I named it "PicturePimp".

The first new feature I introduced was the image cropping function which you see in action on the screenshot (the source image is a 256x256 texture).
I planned effects like blur for the future. But this is just one idea. Please leave me a comment if you have specific wishes.

Beta

PicturePimp is still a little buggy on some places. But I guess the first release (including source) to the public isn't far away.
Please let me know if you run i.e a Mac or a linux machine. I need some testers for the other platforms. All you need is a running java virtual machine version 5.0 (tiger).
