Top 5 Firefox Extensions for Images

Firefox is so flexible that there are currently more than 2000 ways to customize its features! 

Everything from better ways to read news, quicker way of downloading, to better organized bookmarking can be adapted to your needs.

It is also offers up powerful tools for handling images on the web. 

Here are some of the best image related extensions for Firefox.

1. Have Yourself a Better Flickr Experience

Flickr is perhaps the largest, most popular photo sharing site on the planet.  With this set of tools prepared by LifeHacker.com, you can resize, zoom, comment, find camera info, and perform many other functions in a more efficient manner, improving your overall site experience.

2. Pick Precise Colors with ColorZilla

With ColorZilla you can get a color reading from any point in your browser, quickly adjust this color and paste it into another program.  Very handy if you see a certain shade of color that you like or when trying to make sure colors blend properly in a web page.

3. See the Finer Details With Image Zoom

Want to see the finer details of an image?  Fret no more.  All that is required of you is to hold down the right mouse button and scroll your mouse-wheel up and down to zoom in and out of a picture.  Granted resolution may not be the best when you zoom in, but this is still a handle little tool all the same.

4. Edit Pictures Online with Picnik

We have touched on other online image editors in the past, but Picnik has got to be the most intuitive, but yet powerful online editor I have used thus far. With the Picnik extension you can grab a screenshot of a page,or any image on the web with a simple click and move it directly to Picnik for editing.  You do however have to join Picnik (Free) to get started, but you definitely will not be disappointed. 

5. Upload files faster to ImageShack or PhotoBucket with Imagebot

imagebot

ImageShack and Photobucket have got to be two of the most popular ways of storing images for web pages online.  If you want to put a picture online without cluttering up your own web space, those are the two services you use. 

ImageBot allows lets you upload your images to either service and lets you sort, filter, and make image galleries out of your images in a snap.

A lot of sites today offer certifications like 70-284 online. In order to convey more easily, they have a relatively simpler web site design and a direct domain name. They concentrate on directed internet advertising in order to drive the right kind of web traffic to the site. They try to avoid use of any complicated computer software requirements for their products as well, for user’s compliance.

    **** NEW FIREFOX ADD-ON FOR IMAGES: PICLENS ****

    Hello:

    I thought you might be interested in PicLens, our brand new Firefox add-on for viewing images

    Piclens is currently available at piclens.com/firefox/ (and soon on Mozilla).

    PicLens for Firefox instantly transforms your browser into an immersive, interactive slideshow experience. With just one click, PicLens makes mundane thumbnail images come to life via a full-screen presentation that actually goes beyond the confines of traditional browser window. It works on Flickr, Google Search Images, Yahoo Search Images, and more.

    We’d be thrilled if you’d try out PicLens, and let us know what you think.

    Kind regards,
    Alec
