  Adobe Puts Free Version Of Photoshop Online
Time: 00:48 EST/05:48 GMT | News Source: Wall Street Journal | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

The maker of the popular photo-editing software Photoshop on Thursday launched a basic version available for free online.

San Jose, Calif.-based Adobe Systems Inc. says it hopes to boost its name recognition among a new generation of consumers who edit, store and share photos online.

While Photoshop is designed for trained professionals, Adobe says Photoshop Express, which it launched in a "beta" test version, is easier to learn. User comments will be taken into account for future upgrades.

I just tested this and putting the "Photoshop" name on it is really misleading. This has basically no semblance of Photoshop. It's just an online photo gallery with very simple image correction tools (hue, contrast, rotate, etc.). Basically, it's about as advanced as Vista's Photo Gallery, just online. It's a slick Web 2.0 app and could be really useful to novice users, but "free version of Photoshop," it isn't.

This website was already for a long time in my del.ico.us favorites :) Pixenate has some photoshop capabilities, perhaps adobe should buy them. ;)

I expected more from 'photoshop express'. pixenate seems worthy of a revisit. I am a typical photo user, meaning my needs are 1) reduce red-eye and 2) rotate photo. Anything beyond that is what i call 'professional'.
