Frequently Asked Questions

What is Adobe Photoshop Express Beta?

It's an online photo library, editing and sharing website. Think of it this way. You shot it - not it's time to do something with it. You can crop, rotate, change colors, enhance, remove red eye, and even some crazy special effects like twirling and distorting. When you're done, you can share the photos using galleries and even give people a link to go see them.

Is it free?

Yep. Free to use and you get 2 gigabytes of storage for your photos.

There's a catch though, right?

No smarty pants - it really is free.

Is Photoshop Express just the full version of Photoshop, but online?

Nope. The full version of Photoshop is for hardcore photo editing. It's the program of choice for the pros who need the 30+ tools and 100+ filters that it offers. Plus, it's got a lot of adjustments that are meant for professionals that do this stuff for a living. And because it's got so much to it, learning the full version of Photoshop takes a lot longer. Photoshop Express is different. It's pretty much an all-in-one online solution for anyone who doesn't need the level of detail and complexity that the full version of Photoshop offers. You can upload, manage, pick your favorites and store them in albums, enhance, get creative, and finally share your photos with others in some really cool ways. It may not have all the features that the full version of Photoshop does but it's a lot easier to use and let's you be creative in ways that Photoshop doesn't.

What's the word "beta" mean in Adobe Photoshop Express Beta?

Beta just means that this isn't the real product release of Photoshop Express. Essentially, Adobe has handed it to the masses to test out and see how they like it. Then they'll use the feedback they get to tweak Photoshop Express, add features, and eventually release the full product.

I have a question about Photoshop Express, is there some one I can call?

The short answer: No. The long answer: No there is not. Sorry, we're just being honest. However, there is a forum set up over at www.elementsvillage.com dedicated to Photoshop Express. You can mingle with people and ask questions there.
