Picture2lifeis just another online image editor. But what makes it stand apart isthe radical UI design for an image editor. Unlike all classical pictureeditors with toolboxes and a number of buttons, Picture2life has adescriptive side panel stacked into four vertical tabs – Quick Fixes,One Clicks, All and Featured. Selecting any tab replaces the sidebarwith a new sidebar that contains a number of options like Brightness,Color, Contrast etc. But, instead of showing them as buttons, it takesyour picture and shows you how the picture will look if the effect isapplied and uses this as thumbnails for the buttons. Pretty useful forbeginners who don’t know the difference between stuff like hue andsaturation (and that includes us).
