I was on a contract job where I couldn't use my personal laptop and needed to do some image manipulation. A colleague pointed me to this online app which seems to do almost everything I do with Photoshop, but online and for free! Definately a big thumbs up from me.

Even beginners deserve to build websites

Hence my nomination being attributed to doomby.com - an all-in-one tool that's usable by beginners, while still giving access to HTML and CSS coding for advanced designers. And comes hype-free :)

Kuler is cool.

I like the http://Kuler.adobe.com application/site. This is a color picker with flair. Whether looking for complementary tones or mere shades, this is a great way to think out a color scheme. A simple registration lets you save and revisit choices.
