Adobe Targets Flickr, Announces New Service
Adobe, best-known for incredibly overpriced software, has unleashed a public beta of Photoshop Express, which offers users the same functionality as Flickr, albeit with lots of nice effects.
From eFluxMedia:
"Photoshop is trusted technology that has changed the visual landscape of our world. Now, Photoshop Express allows anyone who snaps a digital photo to easily achieve the high-impact results for which Adobe is known," said Doug Mack, vice president of Consumer and Hosted Solutions at Adobe in a statement.
Ahh, nothing like PR hyperbole. The "visual landscape of our world" actually looks quite the same as I sit here, gazing out my window. No matter, Photoshop Express could prove successful as both a service and marketing tool for Adobe products.
Adobe Photoshop Express features the most widely used photo effects, such as removing blemishes and red-eye, converting to black and white, cropping and resizing, and much more. It can also embed or link photos to social networking sites and personal blogs without having to leave the application.
