Adobe has just released a beta of its new web-based photo editing software, Photoshop Express. The free service is a novice-friendly, sized-down version of its professional photo suite. It’s not nearly as powerful and versatile as the full retail version of Photoshop, but it can handle most of your imaging needs: exposure, red eye, touch-ups, etc. There are a also a number of unique features that can separate it from competitors Picnik and FotoFlexer.

The service includes 2GB of free storage, and all edits are saved but not permanent - they can be undone at any time, in any order, even something drastic like cropping. It also connects with other photo storage sites like Picasa and Photobucket and even Facebook for on-the-fly editing and seamless updating. Flickr support is on the way too. Photoshop Express may not be a replacement for an expensive photo editing suite, but it’s a great way for removing that zit from your otherwise perfect Facebook Mobile shot of you at last night’s Moby Listening Party.
