Adobe Photoshop Express launches

[Kesh]

Adobe's new online free version of Photoshop is now up. I'm just signing in and creating a new account. I only got to mess around with it briefly.

The editing tools are very limited compared to the full version but it's still kind of cool. Looks like a good way to share photos with friends, etc. You get your own URL like yourname.photoshop.com. It's still in beta so might be a bit buggy.

I was just going to post this lol :D

I was just checking it out :)

[D-Frag]

ive been dreading this day, prepare to see even more "kids" who think they are graphic designers.

and as for photography, there is no way in hell im uploading the thousands upon thousands of photos I have to that site just so there development team can use them for watever crazy idea they have up there sleeve.

you know.... i still have problems with both illustrator and photoshop cs3 every single freaking day, do you think for just once, adobe can fix the stuff that we have ACTUALLY PAID FOR, before spending there time on another half witted idea?

seriously, adobe is starting to be my arch nemesis....

[budafist]

Adobe is my friend. So where does that leave us D-Frag?

[D-Frag]

honestly i dont know why anyone hasn't posted about how Fubared the CS 3 suite is. seriously, its one of the biggest changes they have made to date and ****s with my head every single day.

ive had to go in to the menu dialog and turn on "show all menues" twice now since install since it forgot or something. my palettes are docked to the sides in both illy and PS with no way of turning them off. its honestly just a cluster**** of madness with the way the new software works.

i keep telling myself, its just different, you will get used to it. but ive been using it for a month and still have problems every single day with it. oh yeah, and they still haven't fixed the glitch where if you are zoomed in over 400% with all your pallettes hidden and have ctrl+f (full screen mode) photoshop will freeze up and all of my shortcuts turn into other shortcuts..... this has been a problem with photoshop since they first introduced full screen mode in CS yet here we are 3 version later and still no fix.....

i could literally go on for days with the amount of "glitches" this software has, but i dont wanna sound to much like a whiney little bitch. i just wish this company would fix there shit before making more shit.... it just isn't good business sense....

Hey Dfrag are you on MAC? If so I'm shying away from the upgrade.
I want to upgrade my FLASH but now I'm wary.

[D-Frag]

no im on a pc.


on other thing about CS3 that really gets my knickers in a bunch. when i first installed it I got all my brushes that ive had for years and dropped them in the appropriate folder c:>program files>adobe>photoshop CS3> presets> brushes... and by golly if the damn things didn't show up. so then i did it with my shapes and swatches, still couldn't access them in the photoshop dialog boxes (like load swatches, load brushes, etc...) well come to find out, with this new version of CS3, they now put all of that stuff, that I have been putting in my c drive for the past ten years in a totally different place... thank god i had on show hidden files and folders or I would of never found this.... look at how far they buried this...

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Presets\Brushes

nice form Adobe, way to bury a folder that is essential to designers so far into the Microsoft black hole that only people who are really on there game can find it.

<steps off soap box>

I didn't have any trouble with ps cs3, just one time it locked up due to version cue, and than the panels were all gone. but other than that, no problems like you mentioned earlier.

As far as the brushes and swatches goes, personally, I just put them in a folder on a seperate drive and point out from dialog.

I guess some people have other bad or good experiences than others, but that doesn't make it sh*te software :)

[Takayuki]

Its a good idea that adobe is trying to do.
I just had a play around with it, but for us photoshop real user's, the tools are still toys. Although simple it can be, it will be much better if you can set parameters for each tools.

[Takayuki]

Oooops!:rolleyes:

[Kesh]

Well, seeing as I posted it first, maybe you should put ooops in the other thread.

Clients with only on-line Photoshop 'skills': good or bad for graphic designers?

[createdirector]

I am going to take a look at this and see what i can do with it. Seems interesting.

Probably bad graphic designers right now...but that is the way the world is moving so in the near future probably good. :)

[Typically]

i signed up yesterday afternoon. it seems ok for people like my mom that just want to tweak things a bit, but i can see this being a problem for us when clients start adding effects to photos before they are given to us to "help." 2 gigs of storage is nice but i think i'll stick with picasa for now to store and share my photos.

Providing they don't fart around with thier pictures on there and not save an original for me to work with I'm not bothered. I don't think I'll be using it though.

Interesting.

That is intersting. After playing around with this a little. There is not much that the average person would be able to do on their own.

Ya, like D-Frag said...
That's a very wide open usage statement.
What happens if you then sell the image to someone else after Adobe uses it?

I haven't had any huge single problem with CS3. Other than not knowing how to find things. But that happens with every upgrade. There were bugs (still are) but some of the updates are there on Adobe's site.

Since I'm not going to sign up to find out, what's the upload size? Typical web?

[Silence04]

i think these web based applications will eventually replace the home computer. *sign*

for a monthly fee we will be given a screen with built in ram, keyboard and mouse. Processing and storage will be off-site.

[Typically]

i looked around and couldn't find a max upload size. they definitely give you 2 gigs of storage though.
