The maker of the popular photo-editing software Photoshop on Thursday launched a basic version available for free online.
San Jose, Calif. based Adobe Systems Inc. says it hopes to boost its name recognition among a new generation of consumers who edit, store and share photos online.
While Photoshop is designed for trained professionals, Adobe says Photoshop Express, which it launched in a "beta" test version, is easier to learn. User comments will be taken into account for future upgrades.
Photoshop Express will be completely Web-based so consumers can use it with any type of computer, operating system and browser. And, once they register, users can get to their accounts from different computers.
I have always wanted photoshop but it's so expensive that I never could buy it. I'm hoping this free version is going to be half as good as what is in the stores.
What do you think? Will it be good or not?

This is rather cool. I think it would boost photoshop sales as well. After all, if they like the free version and think that the other version is better (which is probably would be) then they might go out and buy it. I love photoshop!

I haven't had time to check it out but I'm going to do it right now. I'm sure you're right and it will also boost sales.
