Adobe has just released an online image editor called Photoshop Express.
Don’t get too excited just yet, as this Flash 9 app is still in beta testing, and bears no resemblance what so ever to Adobe Photoshop, as some websites seem to be suggesting.

Photoshop Express is aimed at mainstream consumers, and is a very basic online application. However saying that it does have 17 editing tools that will allow you to remove red eye, remove blemishes, sharpen an image, change saturation, pop color, and crop (among other things).
You also get 2GB of storage space which means you can upload all your photos from your pc or even directly from Facebook, Photobucket, or Picassa. Your pictures are arranged in a collection that can be made available to others or kept private. Embedding and slideshow functionality is also available.

In order to use Photoshop Express you need to sign up, but before you do that, you can take this online application for a test drive.
Of course I couldn’t resist testing it myself, and to be honest, I found that although it is a basic web application, any editing task I gave it to do, Photoshop Express did it well and was reasonably quick in operation.

One feature I do like, is the option of always being able to revert back to your original photo, or any step of the editing process, quickly and effortlessly.
Currently Photoshop Express is aimed at the basic user or anyone else wanting to make minor adjustments to their photographs. I have read that Adobe is going to make Photoshop Express available to pro users, which will give them more storage space and other pro features, at a price, but when I am not sure.
