Yesterday I got an email from Photoshop.com, I was originally only had a beta account, but now it seems the site is up properly and i can know start using it for my online editing means. I’m a fan of Adobe products, and even more so Photoshop which I use for practically all my editing means. I don’t know how i could live without this wonderful product. They have integrated so much into it, which has become unbelievable. 

Popping into the website I’m first greated by a nice greyish black background. The style of the website is very much ajax, follows the Adobe products latest icons, simple clean and easy navigation. Plus it is now using their new logo, which I hadn’t realised until a while back when I was recreating my blog layout. The Photoshop Express logo, uses something like a chat bubble. Actually I’m a bit confused as to which logo it is. At some points it’s the chat bubble then suddenly it’s the Adobe Photoshop box.

 

So this is what my account looks like after signing in. From there you can upload photos straight from the computer. 

You can even connect straight to some of the other popular photo sharing sites, like Flickr, Facebook, Picasa and Photobucket. Then once you are connected, the photos you edit are automatically edited on anyone of the online photo applications. Quite easy to add photos too just drag and drop.  et’s take a look at the editing capabilities. Just like on the real Photoshop there are layers on the sidepanel. The editing features are all on each photo under photo options. 

You can even do colour swap for one area. Take a look at the shirt at the bottom.

While viewing your pictures, you have choice as either a slideview, thumbnails or even with full details.

 

However I don’t like the fact there is no text editor on Photoshop express. It would’ve been real handy to have one section that allows you to add text to your images. 

Altogether, I’ll say that while I’m happy that photoshop is now online, but i think it should’ve stocked up a bit more on it’s features. The last editor that I had enjoyed using at times was Picnik. I still think it has more promise though when it comes to editing.
