As I posted on this week's discussion forum, I would love to see an app for Photoshop, or for some of the other Adobe image editors such as Fireworks. Then, Moses, our classmate, told me about this online app called Photoshop Express, which is a light version of Photoshop, but with all the features needed by even some of the most advanced users. I tried it, and it worked really well! Photoshop and Fireworks are very heavy programs, so I was impressed by how well Photoshop Express handles all those features online, and by how easy it was to edit an image. After you are done editing your images, you can either save it to your computer or share it on Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, or Photobucket. You can also create an account with Photoshop Express and store up to 2GB worth of images. I am yet to find an app for Fireworks though.
The amazing thing about Web apps is that you are not restricted by your hard drive. As long as you have an Internet connection, you can make changes to your documents from any computer. It is really nice to be able to make changes to an image on the fly without having to load up a heavy program from a specific computer. I believe Photoshop Express and Google Docs are making people's lives a lot easier. For one, people will no longer need to carry their laptops around anymore when they are away from their offices and they need to make changes to a graphic or a document.
