Today I released 
imgRIP v0.1a.
It's a small online utility which helps me out in one thing that always bugged me: Imagine you blog about (or publish to say it more general) something and want to add an image which you found on the web. My workflow so far was like this:
- Right Click Image and select "Save as...".
- Locate the file on my HD and open it in insert Photoshop-like application.
- Do adjustments. Resize, Crop, CC etc.
- "Save as..." on my HD.
- Put it via FTP on a server (or upload it via forms in a browser).
Lots of steps required here, lots of application switching.
My intention with imgRIP is that you don't have to leave the browser! First enter the URL of the image you need, next adjust the image, finally upload it - everything in the browser. Try it out.
I hacked and stitched this together in about an hour, so obviously there's room for improvement. At the moment you can only resize the image by a given width and there's no real upload function. You just enter an email address and the image gets sent there as an attachment (which is, however, useful for Flickr and similar services).
Here are some thoughts which might improve it
- Bookmarklet to rip images via browser's bookmark bar
- Batch rip pictures of an entire site
- More options to adjust images (Resize/Crop by selecting area, basic Color Correction)
- Support for more upload option (FTP and other services)
