Pixlr an amazing flash-based online image editing tool that may work for instructors who need to fix images and looking for functions such as: crop, re-size, colors, contrast, red eyes reduction, add titles, control the impact of an effect, border or overlay and more.
Pixlr has also other features like Marquee, Lasso, Magic Wand and other functionalities such as Brightness & Contrast and Image filtering like Blur, Sharpen, Water swirl etc which you see in Photoshop.

Pixlr is built in Flash, this means if you don’t have Flash plug-in you’ll have to download some and other thing is that Pixlr works only on Windows systems.

Apple has also an application for this software for free download, but it doesn’t have all the functions as Windows version. It has only photo effects such as changing color or adding a frame. (http://itunes.apple.com/app/pixlr-o-matic/id450263811?mt=8 )

Android (https://market.android.com/details?id=pixlr.OMatic&featured=bestappever) – has same functions as apple app, this means – not much.

All editing changes are done on online software. You can upload any wanted images, edit and save in any format and resolution that you need on the computer.
