Fauxto – A Badass Photoshop Clone Written in Flex

I had to use the transform tool to move elements around, do you think they will add a select tool?

In my blog, I write about uninstalling ALL applications from my desktop and only run online tools. I just did a post with a screencast of Fauxto on my blog.

When I heard the news about Adobe’s plan to create an online version of Photoshop, I knew I had read somewhere about a similar RIA created in Flex 2 that first made people aware of the possibility.
