Adobe is definitely flexing their awesome with their not-so-recently released Flex application, Photoshop Express. Ok, it’s no Photoshop CS3, that’s a “duh”, but it’s a full range photography touch-up application with a social network spin on it, that allows you to create galleries, share them with others, and adobe is even kind enough to give you a custom URL that’s easy to rattle off or remember to type.

Features include:

Importing photos from Facebook, Photobucket and Picasa… what?! NO FLICKR?
Create galleries and albums
Edit photos - Crop, touch-up, adjust brightness/saturation/hue, red eye correction
Tune photos -  Highlight, sharpen, soft focus (blur), etc
Apply effects - Pop color,  sketch, distort, etc
Browse the Photoshop Express world of other galleries
Check out your recently viewed
Save favorites,

The whole application is done in Flex, meaning, it has all sorts of neat bubbly feeling interface chunks in it. It’s fun to use, and fast to respond. Ready your RAM though, it does make my browser say “HELLO! I’M #1″.

Overall, Px is super useful, even for a guy with Photoshop CS3 readily available pretty much everywhere I go. If they give me flickr, I’ll be ALL over this like white on rice, lemme tell ya.
