Online image editors have evolved so much in the last few years & became very mature + functional for designers at every level.
They generally offer a similar interface with the popular image editing softwares which lowers the learning curve so much.
Almost all of them are Flash-based (no extra installations -like plugins- are required) & load/work very fast.
Why To Use Them?
You may be asking yourself why to use a web-based one when there is a powerful image editing software installed on your computer like Photoshop, Fireworks, GIMP, etc.?
Portability
There is no need to have a software other than a browser to run such applications. Also designs created with them can be saved instantly online.
This function is specially handy for anyone working at different locations/computers.
The Price Factor
Most popular image editing softwares, except GIMP, are generally not cheap & every new version requires a new license.
Online image editing platforms are free or come with cheap subscription plans.
