I wasn't at all impressed with photoshop express. I think they are putting out services like these to compete with freely available editors like GIMP as there product is getting increasingly expensive and harder to afford.

Adobe released its latest rich Internet application, an online version of its signature image manipulation program, Photoshop.
Dubbed Photoshop Express, the service may have sounded a death knell for competing online image products. Adobe has years of branding and thousands of designers weaned on their desktop Photoshop software; the term "photoshop" has come to mean image manipulation.
Those factors will be in play as Adobe seeks users for the new service. To bring them in, Adobe offers 2GB of image storage, tie-ins to social networking sites Facebook and MySpace, and a price tag of free,
Adobe Photoshop senior product manager John Nack said there will be a paid service, with added functionality. Also, Adobe plans an AIR version of Photoshop Express, which will allow offline image editing.
Adobe's Terry White summarized the feature set the new Photoshop Express available to its users:
Once you set up your account, you’ll get your URL like mine: http://terrywhite.photoshop.com (pretty cool huh?). You’ll be able to access your images from any computer on the net that has a browser and Flash Player 9.
You’ll be able to upload, tweak/enhance your photos, put together your own Flash based web galleries and share them with your friends. You can also access your Facebook, Photobucket, and Picasa accounts directly. Once you’ve edited your photo you can either share it with someone or download it back to your computer for printing.
This public beta offers a slew of available editing options. Basic touch-ups include red-eye removal and crop & rotate functions, while advanced features adjust the lighting and allow for adding effects like Pop Color or Distort.
Like other applications we have seen built on Flex and Flash, Photoshop Express looks really good. If the performance matches the appearance, and it seems to do so, Adobe should be swamped with happy photo editors.
