Photoshop Express

There are excellent online photo editors... but none of them are Photoshop- the king daddy of image editors.

That is, until now. Adobe has created Photoshop Express, an online editor that allows the casual web user the ability to touch up photos and share them with the world at large. They also provide you two gigabytes of storage space.

As you can see from the screenshot, a great number of features are built in:

  • Auto Correct
  • Exposure Adjustments
  • Red Eye Removal
  • Touchup Tools
  • Saturation Slider
  • Balance, Hightlights, Fill Light
  • Sharpen and Soft Focus (Barbara Walters approved)
  • Special Effects: Hues, Pop Color, Black & White, Tint, Sketch, Distort

Their editor isn't just for photo fixing and storage, they've also tied the features into social networks such as Facebook. You can also interact with Picasa or Photobucket.

The program just hit beta today... that means you can try it out for free. At some point Adobe intends to add other features at a price. These "for pay" features may include expanded printing services, larger storage capacity, as well as support for additional media and file types.

Try it now by going here: www.photoshop.com/express

I have that same situation Diego and this works in a pinch... especially if I'm able to access the photos from picasa.

Katie- It's a little different than the full version... but it does work fine with a subset of features. It also plays nice with other social web-based networks.

Lorrie- sharing is what it's all about. :-)

UPDATE... THIS JUST IN: Some people have had concern about this online version's terms of service. Adobe's original terms (which are now unavailable on the site) would allow them to use your images without granting royalties. Persons have balked at this and now Adobe is re-writing their terms to take this away. For a full accounting of this matter read this post: Adobe Revises EULA's

Cool Beans I always loved Photoshop and just had to get the ELITE versions up to date, but this is a great way for people to experience photoshop without denting their pockets :)

Justin- I suspect your not alone... many "full versioners" are going to be all over the web edition.

Alan- Isn't it funny that people in our industry seem to be heavy users of this kind of program?
