Photoshop Express Launched Today

Today, Adobe Systems is opening "Photoshop Express", its eagerly-awaited Web-based image editor meant for all those wanting to be able to touch up, share, and store photographs. What's more, the service that is today going live in beta test mode, is available for free along with 2GB of storage at www.photoshop.com/express.
"Photoshop Express" requires Flash Player 9 to run. As a photo-sharing site, it will allow users upload photos onto albums, organize them, make them public for sharing else share them through email links, and generate and email Flash slide-shows. For editing purposes, "Photoshop Express" will not only provide tools for adjusting exposure, color, and sharpness but also special effects that help transform poor pictures into something a tad more interesting. And unlike Adobe's desktop software, "Photoshop Express" will offer a snapshot history of all edits. "Photoshop Express" will also allow users work with third-party Web sites. For instance, Facebook photos can be opened and edited directly in "Photoshop Express". When done, they can be sent back to Facebook as well.
