Fauxto is a pretty cool online Photoshop Clone. It looks so close to the real thing, you may have to look twice! Major differences are hard to notice. At first, I was confused with the name, but it’s actually pretty simple. Fauxto = Fau-to = Fo-to = Photo. Fauxto….like photo. So far, it’s the best use of Adobe Flex that I’ve seen.! It is super easy to use, even for those who don’t have any photo editing experience.
With all of the different options for editing your photos online, some may wonder why it’s worth spending the time creating yet another. Fauxto looks and performs so much like Photoshop, that you’d hardly know it’s simply a free web application. They even included the filters! I haven’t seen another online editor that has allowed you to use filters. The filters that are included are:
- Sharpen
- Blur
- Find Edges
- Emboss
- Enrich
- Clouds
One thing that I did notice is that if you’re wanting to remove a layer, it takes a few extra clicks. I’m sure there are other glitches that you’ll come across, however this is completely understandable considering the program is “way beta” and “definitely in development” as the site notes. Along with the filters, there are the basic drawing and editing features. You’re also able to open multiple images at one time which show up in tabs so that switching from one to the other is easy.
Fauxto gets two thumbs up from me, and I can’t wait to see how it progresses!

Good find…now, if I only knew photoshop a little better.
If you sit down for a little while and play around with it, I’m sure you’ll have no problem figuring it out
It is only for RGB images, right? I need CMYK support too, and Photoshop is still the best software on the planet to work with CMYK images.
If somebody know any free software, which works good with CMYK images, please post it here.
They’ve added new features – undo/redo to five steps, and other stuff. What a great find!
That’s pretty cool…at first I didn’t see the undo/redo buttons in the sidebar. They should definitely be added to a drop-down menu as well.
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.

Is there a forum or something where people can ask each other questions on how to do certain things on FAUXTO? I can’t seem to figure something out.
And I’ve noticed that if you change a pictures opacity, it pretty much makes the undo function useless if you need to change an effect. That might create problems.
You could probably post your questions on their blog:
