Make pretty pictures with Photoshop Express

Posted 2 April 2008 at 2:11PM by Ian Betteridge in Hints and tips

If you have to work with images, whether that's for a print document or online, you'll probably have to do some resizing and touching-up work on it. You might use a cheap consumer programme to do it - but this means you're limited to one machine, unless you pay more for multiple licenses.

Until now, that is. Adobe has launched Photoshop Express, a free online version of its image editing programme which lets you do all the basics of cropping, resizing and more without having to install software on your computer. Images are stored online, too, so you can start working on an image on machine and continue on another.

One thing to keep an eye on: there has been some controversy over the terms of the license that you have to accept to Photoshop Express. This means that, at present, it may not be suitable for all users, especially business ones. However, Adobe has said it is working on new licensing terms which will be used soon, so it's still worth having a play around with.

It's nice they've done this, but they're hardly the first. www.picnik.com and www.snipshot.com have been around a while. I reckon they have more features too, though Adobe will no doubt be working to change this!
