Blog on photoshop express

Adobe has launched the online version of photoshop express for free. There is no download required for photoshop express unless if you have lower version of flash player. Flash 9 works fine with express. At present this version of online photoshop express won't replace the photoshop application. In future, adobe might move the features one by one.

Our experience: In the high speed connection, uploading of photos took time. Otherwise they have cool features in online photoshop express.

• Crop & Rotate—Turn it, straighten it, crop out the background.
• Auto Correct—Automatic, one-click, optimal lighting and contrast adjustment.
• Exposure—Change the brightness of the photo.
• Red-Eye Removal—Removes red eyes caused by some camera flashes.
• Touchup—Remove scratches and other imperfections.
• Saturation—Ramp up the colors to blinding brightness, dampen them down to black and white, or anywhere in between.
• White Balance—Ever notice how people look different inside an office with the ugly fluorescent tubes, as opposed to outside on a bright sunny day? Adjust the white balance and you change the type of lighting in the photo.
• Highlight—The brightest parts of a photo are the highlights. This control lets you brighten or darken just the brightest part of the photo, without affecting the darker parts (we call those the shadows).
• Fill Light—If you take a shot facing into the sun, your subject can end up too dark due to the camera’s automatic exposure adjustment. Fill Light brightens the dark area without overbrightening the background.
• Sharpen—It’s like putting in your contacts. Suddenly everything comes more into focus.
• Soft Focus—It’s like taking your contacts out. Soft Focus creates a subtle blur for artistic effect.
• Hue—This one changes all the colors in a photo at once.
• Black & White—Control how the colors are converted when you change a photo to black and white.
• Tint—Imagine instead of black and white, you want red and white, or pale brown and white for that old Western look.
• Sketch—Makes any photo look like you drew it yourself.
• Distort—Stretch, twist, bulge specific areas of your photos.
