Page Gardens Cool Websites Fresh Picked From the Internet

GigaPan lets users submit and experience gigapixel images.

DailyBooth is pretty much the same as Twitter, except instead of sharing mundane details about what your ate for breakfast and your dog in 140 characters, you get to show people with pictures instead.

Seadragon is another project released by Microsoft Live Labs. Previewing large images can be rather slow and limited by download speeds. Seadragon provides the technology to smoothly load large images and browse through them, and easily scales with any size image. It comes in AJAX and Silverlight flavors.

PicApp helps you find free, relevant and legal images for your blog.

If you’ve already tried Picnik and Aviary, check out Photoshop (dot com). The slick Adobe Flash powered image editor has all of the basic features you’d expect and then some advanced features like hue, color balance, brightness and other editors. It has an integrated photo album so you can save the photos you edit and share them.

BeFunky is a rather, er, funky site that lets you give your pictures and videos crazy effects like a cartoon appearance or create unique personalized avatars.

As we’ve said before, search engines really haven’t undergone the drastic change that other types of websites have, but TinEye changes this, with a fresh new way of searching for images. Instead of typing words to find what you want, TinEye allows you to upload an image to search based on, and it will analyze its index of images based on visual similarity. It’s a great new way of discovering images. Hit up the link to see a short demonstration video.

Photosynth is one of the products of Microsoft’s Live Labs, a home for experimental projects. Photosynth is an amazing new service that completely changes the way you look at images. Photosynth creates a whole new way of looking at images that goes beyond panoramas. It allows you to share the places and things you love using the cinematic quality of a movie, the control of a video game, and the mind-blowing detail of the real world.

By uploading groups of images, the software stitches them together into 3D “Synths” that you can explore in near virtual reality. With nothing more than a bunch of photos, Photosynth creates an amazing new experience. While the current release requires installation of a program, future releases may only require a Silverlight plugin. You can see it in action on an episode of CSI.
