Photoshop Express ★
March 27, 2008
Slick, I love the UI. It’s essentially how Google should have designed Picasa Web. The storage limit is a little corny, but the idea of Photoshop Express is excellent.

Not very professional, I guess Adobe has meant it to be used mainly for social networking sites. Also the pictures you upload arnt exactly ‘private’ adobe has the full right to use, distribute, derive revenue or other remuneration from, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display, phew, them. Then again so does Flickr, we dont realy live in a world of much privacy. I say very nice, but not worth throwing your CS3s away.
Adobe never called it a Photoshop replacement. It’s just a better way of oranising your photographs online. As for distributing your photographs, those that are marked private will be invisible. A company like Adobe must be trusted to this extent, they do have a privacy policy.
If you think Adobe and Flickr can distribute your photos, think about Google and Yahoo distributing your mail as well. I’m not saying it cannot happen, but the reason such services come into existence is to gain attention and drive it to the places where they can steal some money from your pocket. That’s all.
I was pointing out, that it is NOT VERY PROFESSIONAL, it is mostly sufficient for slightly tweaking your pictures for social networking sites, thats what I guess it was meant for, works like a breeze with facebook. And I did’nt exactly say that it was briming with mistrust and deciet just pasted a bit of their TOS agreement, I am not pointing to any trust issues with Adobe in doing so.
Very true. But their level of professionalism is certainly more than what we saw with the early beta stages of Flickr and Picasa Web.
