Aviary on Chrome

Finally got a round to checking out Aviary on Chrome cr-48 Laptop.  Aviary is similar to Adobe Photoshop but is an entire cloud app, ideal for the cr-48. I haven't used photoshop so I can't do a direct comparison, but I have used MS publisher and a few other visual editing programs.

Overall I liked Aviary, they have a number of tutorial videos.  With some experimentation I got the hang of the tool locations and properties.  My first creation was a basic graphic for work that I posted on Facebook.   It is the photo for this event https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=114500758630233

You can export the file as a .jpg .png .gif .tiff .pds. I exported as a jpg and the quality remained.  I do want to test sending the .pds file to a friend with Photoshop to make sure  the layers remain for external editing. If that works I will be golden. I like the history of changes option so I can undo a few items at once.

I look forward to using Aviary more in the future.
