Makers of Camera360 Launch a Photoshopping Web App

The makers of the hit photo app Camera360 have brought their image-altering expertise to a new stage: a Photoshop-esque website called 52Photo.com where people can upload, tweak, and add effects to photos. Designed only for use on your desktop or laptop, 52Photo is a Flash-based web app that lets you apply some familiar, funky filters from its Camera360 app, such as Lomo (pictured above) or Magic Skin. Despite the global success of its other apps, this new venture is available only in Chinese for now. Like with other online image editors – such as Pixlr – the new 52Photo can also be used to do some simple tasks like cropping (pictured below). The whole experience is oriented towards social sharing, with four social buttons to send your reworked photos to Sina Weibo, Renren, or two of Tencent’s services. All this would be welcome in a mobile app as well – as a challenger to the PhotoShop Express app – but for now there isn’t one available. Though the company’s own Photo360 for Android app comes close. The Chengdu-based startup behind Camera360, Movie360, and now 52Photo is called Pinguo. It wrapped up nearly $10 million in funding earlier this year, and claims to have over 40 million users of its three core mobile apps for iOS and Android.
