Adobe just released a beta version of Photoshop Express. It’s a free online photo editor that’s not meant to replace Adobe’s current offerings, but “make Adobe imaging technology immediately accessible to large numbers of people.”

Personally, I think it was just a matter of time until this happened. By now there are quite many online tools of this kind (picnik, preloadr, faxuto,etc) all of them are taking the market from a different point of view. What you will see after you create an account on Photoshop Express is that Adobe is not targeting the online imaging tools market only, it’s more of a online photo management and sharing application. (similar to Flickr). You can easily create online albums, edit and share them. Plus you have some serious photo-retouching tools at your disposal.

All in one, Photoshop Express is a great example of the graphics capability in the Flash Player and you definitely want to try it out.
