Free Photoshop Express Gets Updated, Adds Slideshows

by Tim Stevens on May 20, 2008 at 01:10 PM



Adobe has launched a new version of its free, online version of Photoshop, which is called Express. When we reviewed it earlier, we were impressed with the app's ease of use and speed, considering the program runs within a Web page. Also, the two-gigabytes (GB) of storage and integration with Picasa and Facebook was handy.

This new revision adds the ability to interact directly with photo-sharing community Flickr, letting you pull photos from your account into Express, tweak them a bit, and then export them back over in a jiffy. Also, the new version enables the creation of animated slide shows such as the one pictured above, which you can then embed anywhere you like. And, finally, you can now easily save a copy of any photo you edit, making it easier to get the original back should you mess with it a little too much -- a feature that was curiously missing from the first version.

Here's the beauty part: Since it's all online, there's no patch or software update to download or install. Just log in and you automatically have the latest version. And, while the enhancements aren't exactly mind-blowing, you can't argue with the price -- it's free! [Source: USA Today]
