To be honest, after reviews of such services as PicMonkey, Psykopaint or BeFunky, it seemed to me that it was already difficult to surprise me with something in this area. However, when I saw the online graphics editor Muro, I was once again amazed at the possibilities of modern web technologies. And this is not surprising, since DeviantART is responsible for its creation, which is the largest and most authoritative community of computer graphics on the web. Who better than them to know what the ideal tool for working with images should look like.
Muro is an online web application that is designed to create graphic works of various styles. With it, you can paint a picture of almost any level of difficulty, depending on your creativity and skills. To do this, you are provided with an extensive set of tools, some of which are completely unique and are absent in other, even desktop, programs.
When you navigate to, you will see the DeviantART Muro editor window. In its center there is an editing area, on the right there is a layer panel and their display settings, and on the bottom there is a toolbar and a color palette. Rather, there are even two panels: one for selecting tools, and even lower for setting its properties.
The developers paid special attention to a set of brushes. There are a variety of options here, which are quite difficult to describe in words and it is better to try it yourself. Add to this the possibility of varying thickness, color, transparency and you will understand that we have at our disposal a powerful arsenal of tools with which you can express almost any of your ideas on the canvas.
In addition to an excellent set of brushes, DeviantART Muro has all the standard set typical for programs of this kind. These are the eraser, fill, color picker, drawing area selection tool, moving, labeling, and so on. Note that labels can be easily positioned along freeform curves, which is a rather rare feature in online graphics applications. On the plus side is the fact that Muro runs in HTML5, which can be quite useful if you want to use it on non-Flash devices.
To save your work, you need a DeviantART account, which is pretty quick and doesn't require payment. Saving takes place in the online gallery Sta.sh, from where you can publish your picture on social networks, on other sites or download to your computer.
