- skyshock1, on 03/27/2008, -22/+694Photoshop's not free?
- sockpuppets, on 03/27/2008, -16/+425They also put their other versions free online at http://thepiratebay.org
- sine909, on 03/27/2008, -7/+304Calling this Photoshop is like calling Notepad.exe MS Word.
- fname, on 03/27/2008, -9/+294Abode's new Photoshop Express is getting a ton of press, but very little (or none) of it has mentioned Adobe's massive rights grab to your photographs and other artwork. You grant Adobe a all-inclusive to do anything they want with any work you "submit."
Maybe this is Adobe's way to stealthily compile their own stock photo agency? I guarantee you that I won't be using the service until these items are gone from their terms of service.

- jeexbit, on 03/27/2008, -3/+165At least you can write decent html with notepad.exe...
- pinstripewizard, on 03/27/2008, -8/+92photoshopped.
- MiDri, on 03/27/2008, -3/+76Notepad++ FOREVER!!!!
- tech42er, on 03/27/2008, -4/+64Very funny. Everyone knows you use Dreamweaver to write real HTML. Only script kiddies use text editors.
/sarcasm - Mootabolife, on 03/27/2008, -1/+56Shhh, the pirated version is actually released by Adobe to spy on you and save all of your information into the NSA database. And there's a portable version too!
- santaliqueur, on 03/27/2008, -2/+54WHOOSH is the sound of a joke going over your head. And it's $600.
- evilesttoast, on 03/27/2008, -3/+52way over your head
- RioMo, on 03/27/2008, -2/+49"This is Donny... and you suck at Photoshop."
- bbqsalad, on 03/27/2008, -2/+49im calling the police.
- tablelegs, on 03/27/2008, -7/+54I love Adobe, but that's pretty slimy.
- geekmansworld, on 03/27/2008, -12/+50As soon as I saw "web-based" I stopped reading. Who the hell wants to run a graphics-intensive application in a WEB browser. This is an empty gesture by Adobe.
- docquan, on 03/27/2008, -4/+40"User comments will be taken into account for future upgrades." This is basically free market research. Brilliant.
- Charlotte_Web, on 03/27/2008, -2/+37¡ɥsooʍ
- Screengem0531, on 03/27/2008, -5/+38Now everyone is going to be a freaking "designer"
- Pulch, on 03/27/2008, -1/+33I would imagine that most of the people who download photoshop (illegally) don't use a lot of the extra features, so this will probably be fine for them.
"you've only been using about...$75 dollars worth of Photoshop, and this is gonna open you up to, like, at least $250 worth." - OrangeSoda31, on 03/27/2008, -4/+34!hsoooW
- WraTH017, on 03/27/2008, -2/+32http://www.gimp.org/
Open source. Not perfect, but infinitely better than this free PS version from Adobe.
Of course, there is always The Pirate Bay if you absolutely must go with Photoshop. - santaliqueur, on 03/27/2008, -4/+32Go back to eBay.
- skyshock1, on 03/27/2008, -3/+30So, it's the same price as Gimp and has less features?
No thanks. - sleze, on 03/27/2008, -2/+28Whoosh!
- Neoanarchist, on 03/27/2008, -5/+31Myspace has the exact same clause in its ToS, as does Facebook, you douchebags. I bet you still use those services. (if you don't, don't bitch at me, this comment isn't meant for you)
- Narcism, on 03/27/2008, -2/+28wooosh
- foldor, on 03/27/2008, -2/+27But how many features will be missing?
- SSUK, on 03/27/2008, -0/+24Real programmers use butterflies.
- tech42er, on 03/27/2008, -3/+27Why the ***** do you love Adobe?
- iheartartoo, on 03/27/2008, -0/+23I think CS-Free is more of the point.
- ToRoE, on 03/27/2008, -2/+24you are correct sir.

- Shadowgamers, on 03/27/2008, -2/+21Online Paint with Adobe smeared all over it?
- SlvrEagle23, on 03/27/2008, -8/+26Yeah, by the way, that's https://www.photoshop.com/express/?promoid=CBTVJ
Way to include the link there, WSJ! - cawpin, on 03/27/2008, -1/+19"merely browsing the Site, you agree to these General Terms and the Adobe Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference."
Um, no. I wasn't presented with the terms before browsing, nor can I possibly be. The EULA is therefor void. - Neoanarchist, on 03/27/2008, -0/+17RTFA: www.photoshop.com/express
- romistrub, on 03/27/2008, -3/+20I laughed.
- MiDri, on 03/27/2008, -2/+18Avast ye matee, prepare to be shoped!
- pxlpshr, on 09/04/2008, -6/+22Re-read bud. You're misinterpreting that clause. It's protection for Adobe in the event anyone posts material WITHIN the domain of Adobe. Perfectly normal for big business to prevent content from becoming a liability.
Don't hate Adobe, hate lawyers. - maisteri, on 03/27/2008, -0/+16Let's just say.. you get what you pay for..
- d3faultnet, on 03/27/2008, -1/+16Real programmers set the universal constants at the start such that the universe evolves to contain the disk with the data they want.
http://xkcd.com/378/ - viruz, on 03/27/2008, -2/+17http://a.viary.com/ has a product called phoenix that is by far the more promising online photo editor.
And I had high hopes for Adobe to deliver something mind blowing. - jenel, on 03/27/2008, -0/+13Science.
- ziptnf, on 03/27/2008, -5/+18Maybe they'll take my comment into account:
"You guys are ***** fags." - negativefx, on 03/27/2008, -3/+16It's the slowest ***** webbased app I've ever used. And very few features. Garbage.
I upped a 1.1mb image, cropped a small area (10% or so) of the image, and it's still working...... 2 minutes later. - Forbizzle, on 03/27/2008, -0/+13Well I hope they like pictures of dicks, because that's what they're getting.
- borninda818, on 03/27/2008, -0/+12how'd you do that?
- dawpa2000, on 03/27/2008, -0/+111GB RAM cost me $2
