and i really enjoy using it. i especially love the tubes feature. however, i read yesterday photoshop express is being offered free online. i signed up. i quickly did two photos of some yarn i spun (i started taking hand spinning with a drop spindle. a three week course). my spinning stinks but i am going to practice practice practice. here are my pictures i did with the photoshop express. and here is a picture i doctored with paint shop pro as well. i use it as the header on my craft blog, the reformed pirate
Worth 1,000 words: Photoshop Express now free and online
Early this morning Adobe launched a public beta of Photoshop Express, the newest member of the Photoshop "family." While Photoshop itself is the 800lb. gorilla of professional image editing, the family also includes Photoshop Lightroom for pro photographer workflows and Photoshop Elements for hobbyists. This newest member is geared toward casual, "connected-generation" users. These casual users aren't going to drop $700 for Photoshop proper, and may hesitate to spend the $100 for Elements. Photoshop Express is definitely priced right to attract new customers: absolutely free.

i signed up for Photoshop Express promptly, but look at the photos of the yarn! How cool is that! It might not be perfectly smooth yet, but i think it's awesome Rose! i'm so glad you chose to show us. You have me wanting so badly to try.

i think i mentioned to you i tried and tried and just couldn't get it (by reading and watching videos). if you can find someone to SHOW you in person, go for it! i think you'd love it. i practiced more yesterday and it was better than the time before. of course NO WHERE NEAR what i want. who knew it was such an art?
