When doing web development work I frequently find myself needing placeholder images that have specific dimensions. The last thing you want to do is sit there taking the time cropping a bunch of images to the size you need, and that's where placeholder generators come into play.
Windows only We've come across quite a few photo viewing and editing applications in the past, but Zoner Photo Studio Free is one of the more powerful apps that we've seen.
Windows only There are so many free screenshot utilities out there that it can be overwhelming trying to find the one that fits your needs, which is why we try to cover many of them.

Over the last five years, there has been a huge increase in the amount of data we store online. We post pictures to Flickr, bookmark sites on Delicious, keep documents in Google Docs and tweet with Twitter. But unlike with offline data, backing up your online belongings requires a different approach.
Searching for a specific image on the Internet can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Some sites, such as Google Image search, try to make the process easier, but shuffling through one page after another of results can quickly get tedious.
Back in October of 2007, we took a look at the Most Popular Cameras on Flickr. It's been well over a year, and a lot happens in a year's time, so we thought we'd take a look at the current most popular cameras on Flickr. This list gives some interesting insight as to which cameras are popular, at least among the Flickr crowd of photographers.
A couple of days ago, Flickr released their new and improved Flickr slideshows.
On multiple occasions we have mentioned the fact that we use Flickr for our online photo storage and sharing solution. It's a great service that allows us to easily share our photos with family and friends, and we couldn't be happier with it.
Flickr is a photo sharing service that has around for over four years, and in that time it has grown at an astounding pace. Thousands of images are uploaded to Flickr every minute, and it was just last year that they had over two billion photos uploaded to their site. The good news is that with the increase in popularity also comes an increase in the number of free tools available.
What's going on inside of Yahoo? That's the big question of the day after learning that multiple people have left, or will be leaving Yahoo shortly. To give you a few examples, Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake, the husband and wife co-founders of Flickr are leaving.
I'm one of those that tends to go to photo sites like Flickr if I have a minute to spare just to search for the name of a place I'd like to visit someday so that I can see photos that people have taken from there. It sure doesn't beat actually going there, but if it's as close as I'll get to say, The Eiffel Tower, I'll take it.
I've owned a few camera phones over the last several years but the camera part of those phones has always been pretty useless because I rarely used it. I don't know if it's because the pictures never turned out that great or because once I took a picture, it just sat on the phone and was never removed.
Flickr is used for a handful of different purposes, but one of them is for users to post the photos they took with their digital camera for friends and family to see.
Back in mid-March this year, we wrote about a rumor that Flickr Video would be here sometime in April. Well, it's April and as it turns out, the rumor was true. Flickr Video has launched. It launched yesterday, and so far it's received some mixed reviews from people disappointed about some of the limitations that have been put in place for the new service.
Over the last four years since Flickr launched, they've really made a name for themselves and have become one of the most popular places for people to go to share photos. They've got a great community of users who regularly upload, tag, and favorite photos.
First Flickr teamed up with Picnik to offer a built-in photo editing service and now Photobucket, one of the most popular image-hosting sites out there has teamed up with FotoFlexer. Both Picnik and FotoFlexer are great services and allow for convenient and easy editing of photos online. Here's what Photobucket users will be able to do with the help of FotoFlexer tools:
There are so many reasons that people use Flickr whether it's for business, personal, or marketing purposes. A recent blog entry over at Flickr points out how some members of Flickr are using it for something a little different than others and that is "to shine a light of social or global issues." For this reason, Flickr has created a new site called Flickr for Good. It's a place where information can be shared on charity, issues, or other good causes out there.
