Adobe Photoshop Express launched
Adobe has launched a new online image-editing service with a free 2GB of storage space.
Photoshop Express from Adobe is a free online service combining photo storage and image editing and is currently in beta. It doesn’t require you to download any software to your PC.
“Photoshop Express is a convenient, single destination where you can store, edit and share photos whether you’re at home, school or on the road,” said Doug Mack, vice president of Consumer and Hosted Solutions at Adobe.
Adobe has long served professionals and high-end users but with Photoshop Express it has brought its digital image-editing expertise to the masses.
Although it carries the Adobe tag, Photoshop Express is distinctly unlike Adobe’s other editing software in that it is simple for beginners to operate, according to the company
In keeping with its one-click approach, a range of standard edits can easily be performed such as cropping, resizing, muting background and removing blemishes and red-eye.
One of the most attractive features of Photoshop Express is its interface but the bonus is that it comes with 2GB of free storage.
“This is a consumer-oriented product,” said Geoff Baum, director of Express Products at Adobe.
“It’s designed to be very easy to use, very self discoverable, so if I’m a new user and I’ve never had experience doing image editing it should be very quick to figure out how to use the tool.”
To begin using the service, you will need to sign up and create an account. Although it states that the service is only available in the US, Web User managed to create an account with no problems. However, Adobe warns that you may experience slow performance when accessing the program outside the US.
