The Benefits of Alfresco Image Editor

Skytizens developed the SkyImage Editor addon for Alfresco after clients demanded an embedded, fully internal image editing software that didn’t cut any corners. It is a true cloud image editor with a full range of editing options. This module replaces the need for expensive and external image editors, cutting down on huge costs and training requirements. This image editor is invaluable for companies with a retail aspect as employees will have access to retouching abilities at their fingertips.

How Does It Work?

SkyImage Editor is fully embedded, meaning the module appears as an option whenever a supported image file is opened in Preview Mode. In the upper-left part of the screen, users will see a button with a paintbrush and palette icon. Once pressed, the SkyImage Editor is activated and the full menu of image editing options appears in the menu toolbar as well as a selection of familiar visual icons next to the image.

This Alfresco image editing module works entirely in the cloud so users remain in the same digital “location” on their computer screen as where their images are being stored.

Far from a basic editor–we created the Alfresco SkyImage Editor to have a full range of capabilities, to function in your web browser from within the Alfresco Document Library, to avoid the hassle of navigating away from images while working on them, and to save directly back into the Document Library.
