Got Photoshop? No? I Got You!


Adobe has created a wonderful little site for you to go to, so that you can do a few simple things that the full version of Adobe Photoshop does, but you can do them all now online and for FREE!!! I was just reading a few nerds blogs like I do and I came across a post for photoshop online. I was like wtf? How come I didn’t know about this?

All the time people beg me to please resize an image, or rotate, or touch it up etc! Well lookie lookie here people; you can now do it all yourself … woo hoo!!! All you have to do is sign up and get started. Upload the images, then double click on them and the work window with tool bar shows up and you are good to go.

This is going to save some of you so much trouble and pain trying to fix your images. I just love it and I know that Anita does too. She is now using it on a regular basis to resize event flyers and a few other things. I have included a detailed list of the tools that are available, and their fuctions for you. Good luck creating and have fun. Don’t be scared to try new effects and add some fun details.

Q: What are the photo editing features of Photoshop Express?
A: Here are some specifics:

Crop & Rotate –Turn it, straighten it, crop out the background.
Resize – Change the size to fit web or mobile display to email it to friends and family, or just because you want it bigger or smaller.
Auto Correct – Automatic, one-click, optimal lighting and contrast adjustment.
Exposure – Change the brightness of the photo.
Red-Eye Removal – Removes red eyes caused by some camera flashes.
Touchup – Remove scratches and other imperfections.
Saturation – Ramp up the colors to blinding brightness, dampen them down to black and white, or anywhere in between.
White Balance – Ever notice how people look different inside an office with the ugly fluorescent tubes, as opposed to outside on a bright sunny day? Adjust the white balance and you change the type of lighting in the photo.
Highlight – The brightest parts of a photo are the highlights. This control lets you brighten or darken just the brightest part of the photo without affecting the darker parts (we call those the shadows).
Fill Light – If you take a shot facing into the sun, your subject can end up too dark due to the camera’s automatic exposure adjustment. Fill Light brightens the dark area without overbrightening the background.
Sharpen – It’s like putting in your contacts. Suddenly everything comes more into focus.
Soft Focus – It’s like taking your contacts out. Soft Focus creates a subtle blur for artistic effect.
Hue – This one changes all the colors in a photo at once.
Black & White – Control how the colors are converted when you change a photo to black and white.
Tint – Imagine instead of black and white, you want red and white, or pale brown and white for that old Western look.
Sketch – Makes any photo look like you drew it yourself.
Distort – Stretch, twist, or bulge specific areas of your photos.
