Adobe Photoshop Express

After many months from its announcement finally Adobe released a beta version of its online application for managing and editing images: Adobe Photoshop Express.
You will need to create an account no matter if you have an adobe account (very strange... maybe I made a mistake).
The great thing is that it works in Safari, Firefox and IE no matter if you use Windows or Mac based computer.
It also makes easy to upload multiple images at the same time and the editing capabilities are really cool.
By placing the mouse cursor over an uploaded image gives many options (img 1).

The editing options are powerful and very easy to use. In the Img.2 you can see a list of available functions and on the Img. 3 you can see one of the screen that gives you automatic previews of different tint options.

Photoshop CS3 Beta

Adobe just released a public Beta for the PhotoShop CS3, this time the software is also made for the Intel based Macs. If you have installed an original version of a previous Adobe Photoshop or Creative Suite you can request an activation key so your beta software could work for more than the 2 days "preview" set as default.
The CS3 looks very good! I think they made huge improvement on the interface. It is more organized than before and helps to get advantage of the screen space.
My Creative Suite is for PC and I've installed the beta in a Mac computer, so the activation key is not working. For those cases is needed to send an email to photoshopcs3beta@adobe.com
As soon as I will get my activation key I will write more about the new CS3!
