What is better than one tool?
How about a whole suite of tools?
You may know Mozilla as the creators of Firefox, but they have other programs as well. They actually a suite of creative applications that can be added to your Firefox or used as is in your browser. Just by visiting Aviary.com you can see the 8 tools together.
Phoenix allows you to edit images.
Roc can help you create music and can be used with Myna
Talon is a screen capture program. Capture web pages, then edit, crop, resize or mark the image.
Myna is an audio editor. Remix music or audio tracks. Record your voice and instruments or apply sound effects.
Raven conquers vectors, allowing to edit vector images online.
Falcon can quickly capture images and web pages from brower or desktop.
Peacock changes things as you see fit. This effects editor works just by pulling the effect into the mix.
Toucan allows you to use or create color swatches and palettes.
As you can guess with this many tools in one place, you could do a lot of different things. They have video tutorials and quick guides to help you get started. Knowing that you might feel overwhelmed, they also offer Frequently Asked Questions and site instructions not just instructions on the individual tools.
You can even set up and save your files online Aviary. This allows you to share and use your images and creations in more ways.
I love Mozilla’s free Firefox FTP – so easy to upload files and manage my web sites. I didn’t know about the other ones – I’ll check them out, so thanks for the list!
