Photoshop Express

Adobe is testing a new version of Photoshop that is available completely online, Photoshop Express.

No need to purchase or download software, Express is used on the Web. You can upload images, edit them, and store up to 2 GB of images, compliments of Adobe.

Typical editing tools like crop and rotate, correct exposure, remove red eye, touch up, and fix saturation are all there. Tweak as much as you want, and then email the photo or download it to your computer. You can also add the image to your Facebook, Picasa, Flickr or Photobucket account (if you have one).

This product is still in the testing (beta) stage, so if you have a suggestion for improvement, send it along to Adobe and maybe they'll implement your idea.

Photoshop Express is similar to another popular online editor, Picnik. Both tools are easy to use for simple tasks, and if you are an image editing beginner, you'll get a great start on becoming an image editing pro.
