Just an FYI

The is the free online version of Adobe Photoshop. It’s received great reviews for power, speed and ease of use.

This had better be far slower and less capable than the copy of Photoshop I just bought.

I wouldn’t worry. . . it’s editing features are about as sophisticated as iPhoto’s.

And originally the disclaimer gave Adobe the rights to your photos. :eek: They’re reworking their service agreement. I’ll wait until it’s all worked out.

It doesn’t let you resize images. Even freaking MS Paint lets you resize images.

Lame.

I found the resizer – when you’re done with the photo, go back to My Photos. Wave your cursor over the still you’re interested in, and choose Photo Options, which pops up over the photo. Choose Download, and you can save at a smaller size.

Strangely, for my 960x1280 original, I can download at 768x1024 or 192x256 sizes, so 80% and 20% of the original size. This seems like an odd choice of sizes.
