More details (and pictures) of Photoshop Express

It looks like Adobe's online image editor is getting a bit closer to release. A month ago Adobe released a single image of Photoshop Express to tease us. But at this week's Adobe MAX conference, the company showed off some of web application's features.

Photoshop Express is flash-based and runs inside of a web browser. No surprises there. And also nothing particularly unique. The online image editing space is getting pretty crowded. But while PikiFX, Picnik, SnipShot and Fixr each have tools that let you manipulate images online, none has the name recognition of Adobe.

As the name suggest, Photoshop Express might not be as powerful as the desktop version of Photoshop. But the web version looks like it should have just about anything the amateur photographer would need to make snapshots look better. You can rotate, crop, auto-correct, reduce redeye, and selectively change one color without affecting other colors in the image.

Adobe hasn't announced a release date for Photoshop Express. But to tide you over, CNet's Webware has a short video showing a few more features.
