Photoshop Express Example

Just a quick blog entry to play with embedding a Photoshop Express album. What do folks think? FYI, I chose a fancy 3d album effect. You have multiple options for how the albums are presented.

Note though that in Firefox 3 I was prevented from seeing the album due to a certificate error. Safari gave me a warning at least and I was able to get past it.

So far the service is nice. It's a bit slow - but I'm sure the load today is pretty heavy.

I just did a quick preview of the blog entry. I'm surprised the embed is just a simple picture. I'm assuming it's the first one in my album. I would have thought they would use a Flash viewer like Share has - or perhaps wrap the image in some kind of chrome so it was obvious what service is was using.

You got some cute kids there, Ray!

Not that impressed with Photoshop Express; its pretty ugly, slow, and asks for a certificate when clicking on that link. Feels very beta-ish to me.

As an online service as software its a very interesting move.

Well to be fair - it _is_ beta. ;)

Ray, at the bottom of the FireFox 3 error screen there should be a link to 'add an exception'.
There is in my beta 2, anyway.

After reading your post, I had to go, setup an account and play around a little. I found it easy to use (although a little sluggish). I even played a bit with the editing tools, which were also easy to use. Yet another avenue for people to share photos with their family and friends. A great start, and I know there is much more potential for this application.

Nice 3D browser, but very slow (I know it's beta).

Take a look at PicLens (cooliris) a very cool picture browser, it works with a lot of picture-sites (picasaweb, flickr, yahoo, google image search etc.).

Make sure to download the 1.6 version. Not yet available for Safari :-(

Get it here: www.piclens.com

It's also interesting to ponder that Adobe now has a whole online office suite...

I haven't visited the site yet, but it looks cool. I did see this article on /., apparently there are EULA problems?

Yeah, I saw that. Looks like a simple mistake really.
