Sep 14, 2013 · What is Photo Pea, why it was made, and what should it be used for. A little story. In September 2012, I had two courses of computer graphics behind me and had a lot of spare time. So I got an idea to make a simple web-based photo editor. I was working on it for 3 months in 2012 and 2 months during this summer, and I really enjoyed it!
