Free web-based Photoshop Express Launch
“I have photos to put on my site, but I keep getting an error that they are too big!”
“I have a photo I want to make into my banner, how do I make it the right size?”
The availability and proper licensing of photo editing software can be a concern for new web content managers. There are practical limits on the file size of images that can be uploaded to the CMS, as well as pixel-size limitations on the space available in our page templates — so web content editors need some way to manipulate their photos. Some of us have Fireworks or Photoshop on our computers, some of us have investigated free basic software available on the Internet.
Adobe has released a free web-based version of their extremely popular editing software, called Photoshop Express. It is completely web-based, which eliminates the concerns over proper licensing, and installing new software onto your computer. Once you’ve created an account, you can log in from any computer and edit your images.
There is one catch for Skidmore employees to keep in mind. By uploading images to Photoshop Express, you warrant that you have the rights to do so — so this is not a solution for anything involving copyrighted materials. But for your average need to crop, sharpen and touch up an image for your website, PhotoShop Express can do the trick.
