Their mission is to make creation accessible to artists of all genres, from graphic design to audio editing. Aviary and Worth1000 perform many design services.

Aviary is a free, online digital editing software application to manipulate photos and images, or create your own.

This tool is best suited for people who already have some knowledge of digital image manipulation. If you are a novice or cannot afford to purchase high-end software - the tools are great and worth mastering but expect a fairly intense learning curve.
