The online blogging and social media sites have created a demand for photo-editing software that Adobe has been smart enough to identify and fill. Still, with all of its limitations, Adobe Photoshop Express is a promising product, even in its early beta form. It took a few minutes for all of the 376 images in my Photobucket account to be rendered in thumbnails, for example. Browsing big directories also takes a bit of time. For example, rotating an image in Photoshop Express would be almost instantaneous in one test and take 20 seconds in another with the same image. There are also some tuning and effects filters that many users will have fun with.īecause most users are still used to editing images from computer-based products, the fact that things take a bit longer online may be an issue. Basic functionality includes cropping, rotating, autocorrecting, changing exposure, red-eye removal, a touch-up tool and a saturation tool. The tool palette, which runs along the left side of the window, is extremely sparse compared to Photoshop and Photoshop Elements - the closest desktop application to compare it to is Google's Picasa - but offers much more than any other online tool. Users can access their photo galleries from Facebook, Google's Picasa (which can include Blogger/Blogspot photos) and Photobucket (but not other popular sites such as Flickr and Kodak Gallery). The real usefulness of Photoshop Express is its ability to edit images that have already been uploaded. The upload process works as it should, including the ability to add multiple files at a time, and the photos load relatively quickly (although not, of course, with the instant response of a computer-based editor).

(Considering that many rival sites offer either more or unlimited storage, one would hope that this figure will go up in the future.) The service is currently free my expectation is that a free version may eventually have an advertising component to it and possibly a higher-capacity/better feature version that will come at a fee. The obvious first step is to upload photos to your site, which is currently capped at 2GB of storage. Once you create a log-in and Web site (which will be accessible through an URL such as ), and confirm your e-mail address, you are on your way. The application requires a broadband Internet connection and a browser with the Flash 9 plug-in - all fairly standard fare these days. (Incidentally, Adobe says that it is officially available only in the U.S., but I had no trouble evaluating it from France.)

Its simplicity may also provide a way for children to get their feet wet in the image editing world. I can see this application being a blogger's best friend, since it really speeds up the process of editing an online photo and allows collaborative editing as well.

Instead of having to download a photo, edit it in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, and then upload it again, you can just use a Web-based Flash inline editor. Convenience is where this application really shines.
