Thanks to Pau for hurling a link to the new PhotoShop express online. Tried it out and found it to be an interesting combination of photo sharing and image editing with a flashy interface. It does have a button to 'turn photos into ahhhhtwork'. The back button is broken though.
The site notes that users that join get 2 gigabytes of storage for their images. There are then tools to explore the images, create online albums and edit the images. In the image editing modality the page offers 17 image editing options. The tools have hip little text pop-ups and when an option is selected the interface to the editing a purely viusal interafce consisting of a row of image thumbnails with varying degrees of pre-set options corresponding to the tool. The example shown above is for the 'Hue' tool and the original image has had various hue rotations applied to it. The purely visual user interface to the tools is smooth and pretty intuitive.
The 'back' button is broken though. 'Back' might someday map to 'undo' but at this point one can only speculate on the future for the back button. At least for flashy online tools.
