August 9, 2010 Leave a Comment
Hi!
I am a member of DeviantArt and I just finished trying out Muro. What is this thing called Muro? It is a web application for artists to create artwork. The program is set up similar to Photoshop and works just the same with layers, different paint brushes, filter effects… It’s amazing. This is the first free web based art tool that I have used that has come close to the power of Adobe’s Photoshop.
What is great about Muro is that it was built using HTML5! Yes, using the latest and greatest in web development. I have a feeling that this program uses the canvas tag, which is for real-time content creation. Also, Muro is a cloud computing application, which means that you do not have to install software on your computer in order to create content.
I played around with Muro for under five minutes and I am very impressed with it. Here’s the pic that I doodled:

What do you think of Muro? Do you think that this application is the first major step towards cloud computing?
