images/news/generic.jpgEarly this morning Adobe launched a public beta of Photoshop Express, the newest member of the Photoshop "family." While Photoshop itself is the 800lb gorilla of professional image editing, the family also includes Photoshop Lightroom for pro photographer workflows and Photoshop Elements for hobbyists. This newest member is geared toward casual, "connected-generation" users. These casual users aren't going to drop $700 for Photoshop proper, and may hesitate to spend the $100 for Elements. Photoshop Express is definitely priced right to attract new customers: absolutely free.
Photoshop Express is now available to anyone with a web browser and an Internet connection. The current plan is to polish the free product while in beta, and later incorporate additional features and storage on a subscription basis. Adobe is confident that Software as a Service is the future direction for software, and Photoshop Express is their maiden voyage to test the SaaS waters. The software requires only a web browser and the latest version of Flash 9 to run. It works on any platform, including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (a first for Photoshop), and with any browser that supports flash. Note: because of its reliance on Flash, Express is not compatible with iPhone or iPod touch. (Photoshop Pocket, anyone?)
Get It!
