Photoshop Express...an online experience

Read about Photoshop Express a little while back but didn't really pay much attention to it since I figured that since I won't be doing much of photo editing online. But other half came back said yesterday night that he was quite impressed by it and asked me to try it, which I did early this morning.

The verdict: It's a great offering from Adobe. And the online version doesn't feel like a stripped or dumbed-down application cos basically it does what most of us want. Will the offline version be affected by this? Don't think so, cos basically that one is for the pros. If anything it might even help to reduce the sale of the pirated versions.

Anyway, the ease of use plus the speed at which a task can be completed is quite impressive. You can crop, do auto correction, touch up, do the red eye removal thing and there are even some effects or filters you can play with. Also they have the other stuff like Share Album, Slide Show...enough features for most users. I tried editing a photo...took at random a pic from my computer. At 2.6MB, uploading was quite fast...took less than a minute. The site took a slightly longer time to prepare the upload for editing though. The only thing is I can't seem to find the info on the size of the photo. But all in all, Photoshop Express is quite good.....but then again there is also Photobucket which is also very good.
