Nothing's free

Adobe has made Photoshop Express available online for use, free. Well, free-ish. Do you read the terms of use before you sign up for things like this? Just in case you're interested, here's an interesting tidbit. (Section 8a)

"Adobe does not claim ownership of Your Content. However, with respect to Your Content that you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Services, you grant Adobe a worldwide, royalty-free, nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable license to use, distribute, derive revenue or other remuneration from, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display such Content (in whole or in part) and to incorporate such Content into other Materials or works in any format or medium now known or later developed..."

Yeah, they're still your pictures, but Adobe reserves the right to use them wherever, whenever, however, forever. Royalty free.

Ugh. That's going to go over like a lead brick!

Balloon. I meant a lead balloon. Could be a lead brick too, though. They're also very heavy.
