Photoshop Express
It seems like most of the blogosphere is buzzing with chatter about the launch of Photoshop Express, a free web-based version of Photoshop that Adobe put out in beta today. It’s over at www.photoshop.com/express, and you have to go through a quick registration/verification process to get started.
I registered, and then went in to start playing around with some of the tools. I’m not a Photoshop expert or anything, so I didn’t really know what I was doing.
To me, it seems that Photoshop Express does things that are pretty similar to what Google’s Picasa does. There are basic fixes and touch-ups that you can perform, such as red-eye correction, hue, color, saturation, exposure, etc. There are a few special effects that you can add to your pictures too, such as sketch, distort, soft focus, etc.
The site seemed a bit slow to me, which was probably from the amount of people on there testing out the goodies. I don’t know if I’ll actually switch over to Photoshop Express for my image editing needs, but I guess it’s good to have that option available.
For now, I’ll stick to Picasa!
