Easy image editing

Terri Osland, my colleague at Hopkins High School, discovered a handy application that will find a place on our one-to-one laptops next fall. ImageWell is a tiny little program, but it has a bunch of handy features:

Drag images in and out of the well, resize, crop, shape, rotate and add a watermark, border, or drop shadow. No need to launch multiple applications to add text, labels, arrows, circles and squares to your image. Add a thought cloud or talking balloon. A few simple clicks, copy, paste, and send them off to your web server instantly. At the click of a button the image is sent and a handy URL is copied to the clipboard.  Just like that, it doesn’t get any easier!

The software only works on Mac OS X. It’s free, but not open source.
