Adobe’s Photoshop Express: update bug fixed
Adobe’s Photoshop Express is an impressive photo editing, display, cataloging and sorting software. The service is in beta and a recent update left Photoshop Express plagued with a bug, we are hearing that this bug has now been fixed. The latest release added support for storing multiple copies of document, the Flickr online photo-sharing service and also added an embedded player that lets you add cool slideshows that can be posted to sites like MySpace and Facebook.
Photoshop Express is built using Adobe Web 2.0 technology and that includes software like Flash and Flex, in the beta release you can store image files in your free online storage of 2GB. Although Express is in beta, its good to see Adobe being professional by delaying the update that was due on Wednesday, and saying it would not “send out an update that isn’t ready for prime time.”
Many of the new features were created from feedback that was left in the Photoshop Express beta community, so if there is any new features you would like, then you should leave feedback as they could be included in future updates. Photoshop Express beta is looking good and has some really cool features, but how are you finding it?
I personally like a desktop application more and although the online photo applications could become as good one day, I still do not see myself moving away from the desktop. Do you use online photo software?

Adobe Photoshop Express Online: bad for photographers and non USA visitors
The new Adobe Photoshop Express online may only be in beta, but it still does look very impressive and many photo enthusiasts have already started uploading their photos and sorting them with Rich Internet Application (RIA). The free service needs you to have Adobe Flash Player version 9 installed on your computer, but after that you can use all the great functions and features (these will be improved during the public beta test phase).
We posted about Photoshop Express vs. Google’s Picasa, but currently there are problems with Photoshop Express, these include the fact that it’s designed for USA users and anyone outside of the U.S. can still use Photoshop Express but will have a “restricted speed of service“, which can be very annoying. Photographers might not be happy knowing that “Adobe should secure very extensive rights on the photos of members in the user conditions”.
The online Photo service is still young, so it has time to grow. Have you used Express and if so how did you find it?
