Experience Photoshop Express Beta !!

Just few days back I’ve come across Adobe’s new initiative called
PhotoShop Express (Beta). http://www.photoshop.com/express
for online photo editing and storage. I felt it as a great place to edit our photo’s
where photo editing is required without Photoshop. Here it in nutshell some of
the features,

(1) Organize, Edit & Share your photo gallery upto 2 GB
for FREE. But subscription is on the way

(2) Drag and drop support.

(3) Supports custom URL for sharing
eg:http://yourname.photoshop.com

(4) Requires Flash Player 9, you can
crop, rotate, and touch up our images easily with minimum clicks.

(5) And also
supports integration with photo-sharing websites like picasa, facebook etc. so
you can download and start playing…..Overall, worth to have an account and try
out their new initiative and their ideas poured in it.
