The world is divided.
Well, the kid is growing up very fast.
Google Chrome ditched the unofficial workarounds and brought in official support for extensions.
Things are getting better at theGoogle Chrome Extensionssite.
We also did our fair share.
The following seven extensions are geared to handle images and graphics.
While the rest introduce more.
The Image Toolkits
Picnik is a nice alternative to Aviary Screen capture but comparatively with fewer tools.
Also, download it from theGoogle Extensions Page.
The Image Viewers
Patris a similar lightbox extension for enhancing your Flickr visits.
It loads the full size version of a Flickr image in lightbox.
Flickriver is basically a Flickr enhancer.
It turns a Flickr photostream into a " river' of continuous photos.
Set against a black (or white) background, photos can be viewed in one continuous scrollable list.
Unlike in Flickr, you don’t have to punch each photo to see it in full size.
It’s a very simple addon that makes Flickr browsing a bit more convenient.
SlideShowis a similar extension that turns Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, and Google Images into a continuous slideshow.
The SlideShow icon is visible on the address bar of supported websites.
Clicking the icon starts the slideshow.
But if you are " the searching for this photo' guy, this extension is a letdown.
I have this loaded for some passive viewing of the latest photos in the three web services.
you might choose the web services using a dropdown.
A few more active features like a search would be nice.
Also, download it from the Google Extensions Page.
This is another extension which improves Flickr.
Fittr Flickr can be thought of as a rolled up bundle of the above extensions.
The extension improves the navigation by adding a few size controls below the image.
it’s possible for you to bring up the image in a lightbox with a single click.
‘on the page also opens up a menu with the navigation controls.
For instance, pressxon your keyboard to toggle EXIF info for the photo.
CoolIris is compared to a 3D wall of photos.
We have covered Cooliris before.
The extension brings the same cool features to the Chrome.
To make it a bit more personal, set a background image for the CoolIris main page.
CoolIris is a bit hefty at 2.7MB.
The Firefox Photos, Music and Videos addons section has nearly 750 plugins listed.
Chrome has just opened its doors, so it will be a while before we see it catching up.
Which is your favorite extension that makes adds to your love for images?
