Once you sign up, you get a “personal sharing URL,” such as http://yowazzup.photoshop.com. You can only edit files that are uploaded to your account.

So what are the functions of Photoshop Express do? You can:

  • Crop & rotate the photo
  • Autocorrect the photo
  • Change the exposure of the photo
  • Apply Red-eye removal
  • Retouch the photo
  • Change the saturation
  • Change the white balance
  • Sharpen
  • Highlight
  • Apply special effects such as sketch, tint, pop colors, hue, black & white and distort

Photoshop Express can also be integrated into your Facebook, Photobucket and Picasa accounts.

The best part is you can display the photos you have edited on the Gallery and let the world to see! You can display your photos in 3D or in grid or like an alien pop circle. Pretty cool, huh?

Though the beta is U.S.-based, I managed to register and use it without any problems. Once awhile, I do experience a short lag but nothing longer than 10 seconds.

So, what do you think of Adobe Photoshop Express?

Malaysia Cancels Chinese Spectacular Show Due to China Request

The Malaysian government, under pressure from China, has canceled a dance performance containing acts referring to the Falun Gong spiritual movement, an official and the U.S.-based organizer said Monday.

About 20 people who had bought tickets for the weekend show (March 22-23) protested Monday outside the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage, which issued the order to cancel the Divine Performing Arts troupe performance.

The ministry revoked the show’s permit because the Chinese Embassy complained that the organizers — U.S.-based New Tang Dynasty Television station — were supporters of Falun Gong, a spiritual movement that Beijing bans as a dangerous cult, said a ministry official.

“We have to take care of our relationship with China. It’s very important,” an official, who declined to be named

The Chinese Spectacular show which was originally scheduled to run from April 7 to April 30, 2008 is also canceled. The cancellation for the March 22-23 show cost organizers about $31,800 as at least 2,000 tickets were sold. The organizers is refunding the tickets, but people from Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan and Singapore, who had already booked their flights, had still traveled to Kuala Lumpur.

What’s your say on Malaysia’s bowing down to China?
