Adobe has finally launched Photoshop Express, a free Flex based web application. They gave us a sneak preview of this at the Adobe MAX Conference in Chicago last fall and it looks very nice. Adobe Photoshop Express is an image editing software that aids users even with a limited knowledge of photo editing to create special effects to their images, the company noted. The latest Photoshop software allows users to store up to 2GB of images online for free, make edits to their photos, and share them online in creative ways, including downloading and uploading photos from popular social networking sites.
