• I think Adobe owes PX users an explanation for why it would build an image editing service that does not allow you to resize images for the web, and does not offer the simple basic tools needed to resize for the web quickly and easily. I'm talking "features" that are fundamental, basic necessities in image editing. What size is the file? What are it's dimensions? What is it's file type? Can I export to a file type that is smaller in file size?
  
  I was so excited for PX because it promised everyday web users an easy way to prepare raw images for display on websites, easily, free, and with Adobe's legendary image expertise behind it. Instead, so far, we've got a blemish removal tool for professional photographers.
  
  Or, perhaps, we have a tool that's real purpose is to draw graphic experts and photographers in to try Adobe, so that it can upsell the desktop versions of Photoshop etc later. Perhaps I've misunderstood what PX was supposed to be from Day 1- is it simply a marketing trial version, a "gateway drug" for your more expensive software? (Sorry for the analogy, but it's the best that comes to mind.)
  
  What we do not yet have is a simple yet powerful tool to empower people to prepare their images for web display that is quickly, easily, and with some style. If Adobe added just some basic functionality re: file size, dimensions, and export to various file types, then PX could get there. In reply to: "Review: Adobe Photoshop Express beta"
