FC's online Mobile Wallpaper/Avatar Creator has been completely renewed. It's now more complete, more client-side, and provides some image-retouching filters.

The overall functionality is the same: find a beautiful pictures in the galleries or the image board, click "create mobile wallpaper" or "create avatar", crop a portion of the image and save it.

So what's new? That after cropping, there is an additional step: the image is now cropped directly on your browser, and you will be able to apply some photoshop-like filters to fine-tune and enhance it before saving.

You can play around with a sandbox picture here. It's only for demonstration purposes, so it does not allow to save the final wallpaper.


Here is the changelog:

• Rotating the selection (before cropping) is no longer supported. You can now rotate the whole image instead.
• After cropping the image, the following filters will be available: image flip; brightness/contrast; hue/saturation/lightness; red/green/blue balance; blur/sharpen; outer border; glow; sepia; remove noise.
• You can undo up to 3 last applied filters.
• Image processing is all browser-side via javascript now; this reduces server load, but might be slow on older computers; expect some lag while applying filters.
• The editor now relies heavily on HTML5 canvas elements; older browsers and IE most probably will not work. Preferred browser is Firefox 3.6.
