Create Stunning Old World Effect using Photoshop

Photoshop goes online and for free.

This looks very interesting. We already have a few sites that will allow you to edit your photos online for free such as www.picnik.com and a few other but now it looks like Adobe may be offering up some online photo editing goodness. It’s not live yet but John Nack (Senior Product Manager for Photoshop) has confirmed the development of Photoshop Express. It’s a free online photo editor that’s not meant to replace Adobe’s current offerings, but “make Adobe imaging technology immediately accessible to large numbers of people.”

I for one think this is a great idea. A lot of my clients need to quickly edit the size or shape of a photo to make it web ready and without installing new software this can be a pain. We will have to watch this space for more on this.

You can read more about this and even see a screenshot of the new web 2.0 goodness at the link below:

This can be a tricky task to do but have no fear because this handy new tutorial will give you the skills and step needed to create this unique effect.
