Adobe launches free online Photoshop
Adobe has released its Photoshop Express web-based imaging application as a public beta. Photoshop Express uses much of Adobe’s image editing technology and has been repurposed as a web-based application. Users can store up to 2GB of images online for free, make edits to their photos and share them online. Photoshop Express also allows users to download and upload photos from popular social networking sites like Facebook. The application provides ’standard edits’, such as removing blemishes and red-eye, converting to black and white, cropping and resizing.
Photoshop Express also offers tricks like Pop Color which selects an object in an image, mutes the background colour of the photo and allows the user to swap the object’s colour so that it “jumps off the page”. Sketch effects make photos look like drawings, and a Distort feature allows users to distort facial features or objects for a comical or artistic effect. Adobe said that even users with limited photo editing knowledge can simply select what looks best from a line-up of sample photos with visual hints showing different variations of the added effect. During the public beta period, Adobe will solicit user feedback on product features and functionality which will “continue to evolve over time”.

Dumb, just get a portable version of PS.
Photoshop for noobs.
It sounds handy. There are many times where I dont want to take the time to download a photo, load up photoshop, edit, and upload the photo again.
This seems like a quick and easy way to do simple edits.

GimpShop is great http://www.photo-freeware.net/gimpshop.php
Sounds like a good web app. Great for a quick touch up when you’re on the go.
It’s a bit more than PS aswell, it kindof acts like a flickr account aswell where you can have photoalbums. plus i like the idea of myname.photoshop.com as an address.
So just like Picassa right?

^was just gonna say that.
I dont know why they even call it Photoshop - it looks crap to me. It doesn’t even have any drawing tools or layer support.
http://www.splashup.com is probably what Photoshop Online should be!!
Thanks baks22 great useful site!!!
on topic:
I think a Portable Thinstalled Photoshop CS3 is a lot more useful than the online version which really doesn’t have anything to do with Photoshop and if you want fast edits use the one baks22 suggested.
any more links for online image editing applications?
I just registered cool URL’s, now I’m happy.
lol this is like picasa
Can anyone recommend a drawing program that’s actually easy to use? Not structured drawing, just a bitmap drawing program that doesn’t require you to set 53 different options before you can start making something.
At one point I had the full version of Paint Shop Pro installed, but it was so bogged down with trying to simulate real-world painting that using it to make a simple illustration was a royal pain in the *ss. It lacks even the basic function of being able to cut out a part of the image and use it as a rubber stamp. Sure, you can Copy, Paste, Paste, Paste, etc. or you can go through the 10-20 steps to create a picture “tube”, but you can’t just copy a section of the image, move it somewhere else and stamp it down.
I’d give anything for a modern version of Deluxe Paint!
Really interesting idea. im sure there meaning this to be a new way to get pple into the “adobe” world, so when there pro’s or can afford it they will buy the “real” products. good idea
Also another way to slow piracy
