Adobe Launches Free Web-Based Version of Photoshop

If your nonprofit needs to occasionally tweak photos, but doesn't require the all of the advanced capabilities of Adobe Photoshop, you may want to look into Adobe's Photoshop Express, a new, free online image editor and photo-sharing Web application available to anyone with a computer and a broadband connection.

Photoshop Express offers cropping, color correction, and other standard photo touch-up tools through a simple, straightforward interface. Yet in addition to allowing you to upload and edit images, Photoshop Express also offers 2 gigabytes of storage space with each account. These online storage galleries can be publicly shared and browsed, or they can be downloaded and uploaded to other sites, such as Flickr. You can access and edit photos stored on Photoshop Express from any computer, or import photos from Facebook, Photobucket , Picasa, and, soon, other sites.

While the service is still in beta, Adobe plans to offer subscription-based extras in the future, along with integration with desktop software such as Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop Elements (available at to qualifying organizations in Windows and Mac versions through TechSoup Stock, thanks to a donation from Adobe).
