I have never actually owned a version of Photoshop, due to the ridiculous price.
As a matter of fact, I am still using Paint Shop Pro 7 if you really want to get into how “old school” I am. However, when I heard that Adobe released a free online version of Photoshop, I had to try it out.
The thing that I like about Photoshop.com is they have made the interface really simple to understand and use. You may want to play around with a few images before you get too in depth with it, but you’ll be editing images like a pro in no time flat. You can crop, correct, and edit your images in many different ways. Professionals might find it a little light weight, but I liked the simplicity of it all.
The little extra mile with this tool is that they provide hosting for your images too. You will be given a special URL to share with friends and family, such as yourname.photoshop.com. This a a very nice extra touch.
To try it out for yourself, visit photoshop.com and sign up. It does not cost a thing, so you will at least have a fun alternative to save for a rainy day, if nothing else.
