Adobe launched Photoshop Express today, an online Flex based application for editing and storing photos online. The press release has more details, and a number of sites have reviews of the service.

I'll have more details on this next week when I'm back from vacation.

John Loiacono, Senior Vice President for Adobe Creative Solutions, showed Adobe Photoshop Express yesterday at an industry event, and said that Adobe would make a beta available in 2007. He also said that the software would be made available through partners such as Shutterfly and Photobucket, as opposed to directly from Adobe. (Flickr has already inked a deal with Picnik.)

I've covered Photoshop Express before.

More coverage on Mashable.

Yesterday Adobe showed off a preview of the upcoming Photoshop Express product, a version of Photoshop built with Adobe Flex. John Nack has more details of the presentation on his blog. You'll recall that Bruce Chizen, Adobe's CEO, said that Adobe was working on a version of Photoshop to complement the online video editing application Premiere Express. (Premiere Express is being used by a number of companies, including YouTube and MTV.)
