Image editing online

Jared McGinley sent this site to me some time ago. The one that most interested us was Raven the program that created vector-based graphics. This function is similar to Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia FreeHand. Unlike JPEGs which are composed of a series of pixels, vector graphics are images that are defined mathematically. This means that they can be resized infinitely without losing any quality whatsoever. Anyone who has tried to resize a 2-inch JPEG or other bitmap image to twice its size will know and appreciate what I mean here.
It appears that these are tools available to use online - the program is not stored on your computer - just available through your logon. And the price is right. :-)
