Photoshop is an amazing picture/photo editing program, but it costs an arm and a leg to buy. One of Photoshop’s many neat tools is a photo background eraser, and now you can do this for free online with Fotoflexer.

1. Upload your picture to FotoFlexer and click on the ‘Geek’ tab. Then select ‘Smart Scissors’
2. Using your mouse draw around the part of your picture you want to cut out
3. Then when you are happy with the preview, click ‘Create Cutout’ and then save your new picture

Vuvox creates extremely impressive Flash presentations from your videos, photos, music like you've never seen before.

To create your own Vuvox presentation, simply collect the media files into Vuvox from your hard drive or pull them direct from the web (Flickr, YouTube, PhotoBucket, etc), choose one of the 3D styles and publish.
The final presentation will look stunning though it took only couple of minutes if not seconds to create it from scratch.

In one of the styles, your pictures and videos appear on the branches and leaves of a tree and they grow as you add more media. Another style reminds me of the Microsoft Coffee computer table - you move, resize and rotate pictures on the computer screen with your mouse instead of your fingers.
Each presentation can be viewed directly on the Vuvox website or you can embed them in web pages. If you have to showcase you portfolio to clients, look no further than Vuvox. Presentation does matter.
