Here is a summary or excerpt from an article that has just been published on DPNow:
Adobe Systems Incorporated today announced Adobe® Photoshop® Express public beta, a free Rich Internet Application (RIA) available to anyone who wants to store, sort and show off digital photos with eye-catching effects.
I signed up for an account with this yesterday. 2GB of free webspace is not to be sniffed at However, I couldn't do it or get beyond the home page in Firefox, I had to do it in Safari which worked fine. When I try both browsers now I can't get on at all. Seems they maybe having problems coping with demand. Anyway even if you don't use it much, you can sign up just to reserve your personal webspace www.StephenAnstey.photoshop.com
I got the confirmation email bit sorted but when I try to log in it
kept telling me that I needed Flash Player 9.
I already have this but it still insists on telling me I need it.
It is not widely known yet but Photoshop Express Beta is only available to US residents as yet. Apparently it is sometimes possible to apparently register but problems arise later. When I tried using IE it actually said on the registration form "Only available in the US"

Roger, as I said, I have signed up and uploaded images using Safari. I can do all the stuff on offer. This is a public gallery. http://StephenAnstey.photoshop.com I'd be interested to hear if anyone can see it. I can't in Firefox.

Yes it's all running OK Stephen. I'm using IE and got to it with out any problems at all.
Found the slideshow a bit quick even with the timer set to max. I don't think I have any use for their service, so I'll not be signing up.
Apparently its aimed at the 18-22 age range who are into social networking on Facebook, MySpace etc. So I agree it has limited uses. However, the free photo storage space maybe of some use. Maybe to show your holiday snaps to the family or see photos of the Grandkids in Oz, you know the sort of thing

No doubt it will be well supported by Joe Public. My Son runs a family exclusive server with loads of space. No problems with copyright etc. Now that's something other family's could consider. I gave him my old computer which he has upgraded a bit and it's doing just fine.
Something really odd is going on here! Using IE I could get to the sign-up page, but there was a little notice saying 'Only available in the US', using FF2.0.0.13 I couldn't get the @ for the e-mail address even when I changed my keyboard layout to US English, and now in FF3 Beta 4 I am again getting the only in US message.!!
Probably tied to the ISP URL because it appears to accept UK ISP's!
