PhotoBlaze

A photo-editing workspace that brings layered compositions and everyday image workflows into the browser.

Overview

Making room for creativity.

PhotoBlaze is my independently developed browser-based image-editing project. It explores how sophisticated editing workflows can live in an approachable workspace, with tools and guidance close to the image.

The problem

Image editing brings a lot of controls into a small space. This project focuses on giving those controls a coherent home in the browser, while keeping entry points for everyday tasks easy to find.

The experience

The public site provides task-based guides for cropping, resizing and image adjustments, alongside a direct path into the editor. The editor is a separate workspace, keeping learning and editing connected without crowding either experience.

Designing for the workspace

The product recommends a desktop browser. The narrow-screen capture below documents the current interface rather than implying that a phone offers the same working space as a desktop.

Inside the project

  • A dedicated browser editor, with task-based guides on the public website
  • A workspace organized around image tools and editable layers
