Full Tutorials

There is both a tutorial section on how to do some specialized tasks or a help section on how to work with different parts. If you have ever worked with Photoshop you won't need these. Otherwise they are a great introduction to the different parts, how to use them and then how they can come together to create some interesting effects.

Other Fun Stuff

There is a blog post on how to add a Christmas hat to your favorite mug shot. As well there is an add-on for both Firefox and Internet Explorer to edit any webpage via a screen shot directly in the browser.

Basic Version

There is even a very basic version for quick edits or if you don't see yourself using many of the more advanced features. This can be especially helpful if you just need to crop a photo down so it can be used in the page header of your CPA website. Other basic functions include red-eye removal, teeth whitening, sharpen, blur, auto levels (VERY handy if you have a photo that's too dark or otherwise poorly exposed) and much more. The basic, or "express", version also offers a variety of simple but fun photo effects.

Advanced Features

One of the most advanced features of Pixlr is it's ability to work in "layers". Working in layers adds a lot of power to your ability to create and manipulate images. The full version of Pixlr also has a number of built in filters that will allow you to apply effects to your image like adding noise or swirls. Layer styles include shadows, beveling, and glow.

Pixlr doesn't support channels and paths, so it's not quite a professional grade image editor, but it's pretty darned close!

Getting Pixlr

All you need to do to use Pixlr is go to www.pixlr.com. It's really that simple. Any web browser that supports flash will be able to run pixlr. This includes all the major browsers; Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Flash 10 runs best, but older versions of flash are also supported as long as you don't mind uploading your images to the Pixlr site while working on them.
