Flickr Tool
A late night programming exercise – I wanted to play with Flickr’s API and the newly arrived, at the time, bitmap data object in Actionscript 2.
This tool lets you crop images and adjust some of the visual aspects of photos (saturation, hue, brightness etc…) from flickr without having to save them or use anything other than your web browser. It uses Kevin Luck’s wonderfully timesaving Flickr API wrapper Flashr and partially implements Mario Klingemann’s colormatrix.
