Introducing Crane – The first paper-based image editor

Crane01

Aviary is proud to announce that it has launched its newest product, Crane, the web’s first paper-based image editor.

Crane is Aviary’s first venture into the newly discovered concept of non-web based applications. The system will work from anywhere and, amazingly, does not require an internet connection.

How Crane works

We’ve taken on the arduous task of back engineering familiar tools from image editors such as Phoenix and Photoshop, and creating tangible versions of these functions in Crane.

We’ve remarkably been successful in recreating most the tools in Crane as you are familiar with in your favorite digital drawing software.

And the system is so simple, you should have no problem picking it up in no time.

Crane03For example, to draw in Crane, simply place the Pencil Tool between your index finger and thumb (located on your dominant hand). Press the tip of the Pencil Tool down onto your canvas and using controlled strokes, you will be able to simulate the act of digital drawing on your canvas. The Pencil Tool is entirely pressure sensitive meaning the harder you press down on the Pencil, the darker your strokes will appear on the paper, just as if you were using a real Wacom drawing tablet.

Aviary is a pretty nifty online image editor.

Thanks LH
