Photoshop Express: Free Online Image Editing

Scenario: You have lots of images to edit, but don't want to buy any photo editing software
Solution: Photoshop Express is a free, Web-based image editing tool




People are taking more pictures than ever before thanks to the explosion of digital cameras and camera phones. The result of all these extra images is the accompanying need to make endless edits - a quick crop here or a little red-eye removal there.

This used to mean having to fork out big bucks for a piece of software like Adobe Photoshop (very expensive and far too advanced unless you're a graphic designer) or simply making do with the fact that Uncle Dave's eyes will always just look redder than Satan's.


But as we outlined yesterday with Google Docs, more and more traditional pieces of software are moving online and becoming Web-based services. This is also true in the world of image editing and our friends at Adobe offer a free image editing product called Photoshop Express.


Let's be clear - Express is never going to replace its big brother Photoshop but then again that's not its intention. Instead, it offers a set of basic but robust image editing tools (cropping, re-touch, color correction, etc) that will be more than adequate to satisfy the average home computer user. Best part is that it's free and ultimately that's something - especially in the current economic climate - that can only be a good thing.
