Hop on the Photoshop Express

For as long as I can remember, the best photo editing program in the business has been Adobe's Photoshop. For most people, however, it is an expensive option that can be cost prohibitive to many.

Well, those days look to be over. Enter Photoshop Express, a new option available free to anyone online. Instead of ceding the online photo world to sites like Flickr or Photo Bucket, Adobe is adding its well-regarded brand into the mix.

Right now, it's still in a beta version, but what's not to like? Instead of having to pay for more than minimal storage on other sites, you can get 2 GB for free on Photoshop Express. However, not only can you store and share your photos, but you can use Photoshop's full editing capacity. When you are ready to share, it has new ways to showcase your photos, too.

I have not had much chance to test this out yet. Since I have not uploaded any photos yet, I don't know if you can link to Photoshop Express slideshows in your blogs -- like I have done with Flickr. (Flickr slideshows are great, but the free capacity is reached quickly, and I'm too cheap to pay for more right now.) If this site does that, I'll be overjoyed.

If this is not the case, perhaps they will add that feature if people demand it. If not, it's still a nice site to edit your photos and share them with your friends.

You can't beat the price.
