photoshop.com/express – Photoshop Express (PSX), provides my photography students 2GB of online storage for free. If they need more room they can upgrade up to 250GB. It allows them to tag their picture with searchable words and create custom albums. There are four primary sections of Photoshop Express: Upload, Organize, Edit and Share. The online editing tools allow color tweaking, distorting, adding “decorations”, some basic filtering choices, crop & rotate, and exposure correction among others. Sharing tools allow you to export to Facebook, Flickr, Photobucket, Picasa and other photo gallery web hosting sites. You can even use this tool with mobile devices and they have an app specifically for the iPhone

This tool has a very different interface than the professional version of Photoshop and is not a replacement for it. However, the full version of Photoshop retails for around $600 and the student price is about $180 while PSX is free.
