Handy Web Freebies - Image Tools

[Crak_Eric]

The Internet is a wonderful, wonderful place. A vast tundra of knowledge, networking, and ads letting us know that there?s people next door to us seeking sex. We love the Internet for all of the above reasons of course, but we?re particularly fond of the Internet for the sheer number of free tools available.

With so many developers creating great things? which tools benefit Webmasters the most?

So many of us in this industry are multimedia focused. We run sites featuring an abundance of images, sound, and video, and we?re betting you do, too.

Great sites require great images, and great sites with great images require great tools. In this part 1 of 3 series, we?ll be looking at the various tools we have available ? awesome web freebies that we believe the average Joe Webmaster should at least have on his radar when it comes to honing their website?s design.

Here are some terrific image tools, so check ?em out!

We love hearing that, Harley, glad to hear you're making some money with us!

Here's part 2:




Sound: in multimedia today, good sound and good audio can make all the difference between a successful multimedia marketing strategy and a failed one. Sound is the peas and carrots to a visual component; sound can be subtle and audio can be blatant and informative.

And to handle sound well, you guessed it ? you need great sound tools.

Our success at CrakRevenue can be attributed to many factors, but one thing we?re absolutely sure of? some of our Well-Known Landing Pages would be missing a key piece of the puzzle had they not incorporated sound (narration).

As marketers we know that sound is used to catch the attention of our target audience, and to reinforce a core message or theme. So when you hear sound in that random popunder ? it?s not to annoy the visitor, but merely to alert the user of its presence.

Today we?re going to focus on the best web freebies that relate to sound. Listen up!


FreeSound





Looking for free audio samples that doesn?t sound like it has been recorded in your mom?s basement?

FreeSound is a terrific resource because it?s a database full of audio samples, snippets, and various other sound effects available for webmasters and editors to download for free.

If you wanna go the more professional route, we personally love a site called Audiojungle. This ?almost? free tool offers a large range of audio possibilities at an extremely low cost. You can get hundreds of thousands of royalty free audio files from $1 and up.

Whether you?re using Freesound or Audiojungle, both of these sites provide a LEGAL way to incorporate sound into your projects without hefty licensing costs and royalty fees.


The rest is here...

A well put together video knows no bounds; a video?s reach is limitless, and its message never wavers.

Getting that awesome, final product that we call a ?great video? ? well, that requires great tools. As children of the Internet age, we are fortunate to have a tremendous number of tools at our disposal. So far we?ve touched on the various Image Tools and Sound Tools that you can be using.

When you consider how popular video editing is in this day and age (everyone?s an editor?), it only makes sense to cover the best video editing tools.
