Adobe Photoshop Express
Adobe Photoshop Express (internal abbreviation: psx ) is a rich Internet application based on the Flash browser plug-in , with which photos can be edited at a very simple but, thanks to Adobe Photoshop- proven algorithms, sufficient for beginners to advanced users . The web interface for starting the application and for managing an optional user account is e.g. Currently only available in English; the user interface itself can be changed to German. Photoshop Express has also been available for Windows 8 and Windows 10 in the Windows Store since May 2013 .
technology
Photoshop Express runs on the Adobe Flash plug-in in common browsers. The Flash platform enables an authentic graphical user interface with simultaneous operating system independence. As a rich Internet application, Photoshop Express seamlessly connects the client (your own computer) and the server: the images are stored on Adobe's Internet servers, but the actual calculations for image processing are carried out directly on the client and only synchronized with the server after the processing process has been completed. Thus, the processing of the system runs as fast as a normal offline application, but still offers the possibility of accessing, viewing and editing your own images at any time and regardless of location.
Functions
As a registered user, Photoshop Express allows you to organize your own images in albums and galleries via a web space, edit them as a whole and later publish them as a “ 3D ” slide show.
Machining
First of all, you can upload the pictures to be edited from your own computer or import them from well-known photo communities such as Flickr . In contrast to the industry standard Adobe Photoshop , the following image processing in Photoshop Express runs largely automatically and is understandable even for laypeople. After clicking on the desired correction option (e.g. saturation, exposure), the program suggests several automatically corrected images: A direct intervention in the editing functions is not possible, the user only decides on one of the corrected versions or searches for one Slider compromise between these. Photoshop Express saves all editing points, which means that individual corrections can be changed afterwards or the entire image can be returned to its original state. Edited photos can be saved on your own computer or published on the Internet.
Publishing
Photos can be sorted into albums and made generally accessible via a user-owned gallery. It is possible to send individual images by e-mail, automatically create 3-D photo shows and present them to third parties.
criticism
A not unproblematic point of the terms and conditions is often overlooked. Under point 9a "Use of your content - by Adobe" the user consents to the use of his own images by Adobe. Although the image remains the property of the photographer, this clause gives Adobe the right to use, archive and pass on the images worldwide free of charge - however, as emphasized, " for the exclusive purpose of the ongoing provision of the service and your use of the service " . Under 9b, similar rights are granted to all other users for whom you have released your images.
