Photoshop Express ? Never Heard of It
Apr 2, 2022 14:32:23 #
I was looking at my Adobe subscription (LR/PS/Portfolio) and noticed that there was a program called Photoshop Express. I never heard of it. Seems it does basic editing that some folks may find useful. It says it has some raw processing as well. According to my quick read on the Adobe site, people can download the program for free if they are signed into Adobe.
May be helpful to some folks.
Best regards and happy shooting.

I got it from the Windows App store. There is also a version for phones and tablets through the respective app stores. It works quite well for crops and the other basic adjustments! My understanding is that it is a free app for anyone but additional features are turned on if you are a subscriber and log the app in. It does open my RAW files. I don't use it much because I always forget it is there!

It's for smart phones only. As the Adobe website states, "Photoshop Express is specifically built for mobile device photography."

Hmm. Wonder where raw comes in?

Except that it runs fine on computers! If you have an apple computer you download/install from the Apple store. If you have a Windows computer, you install from the Windows store. Same if you have phones. Is it better than Lightroom/Photoshop? No.
This is what it looks like with the exposure slider selected and a Panasonic RAW file being processed...

I'm not sure, but I think the RAW part works when you are signed in to your Adobe account. It might be that if you are not signed in, RAW processing stops.

My older LG phone let me shoot RAW. I have a newer LG phone and I've not checkedthat out.

There are plenty of freeware editors available which offer a far richer set of features than Photoshop Express.

It's basically a IPhone editing app. My opinion, Snapseed is much for versatile for phone editing. I have both apps on my IPhone, I rarely use Photoshop Express. Here is a comparison of the 2 apps.

Photoshop Express has been around for years! During that time it has seen some changes - to my mind, some good and some not so. I haven't used it for a long time, but two or three years ago started my wife in photo processing with it. It DOES work on Windows, and can be downloaded from the Microsoft Store for free; if I remember, you need to sign in to your (free) Adobe account, though. I glanced at it a couple of days ago, just out of curiosity, and it appears to have been changed considerably, in that now everything is done through (supplied in the software) presets, whereas previously, there was much individual adjustment capability. I didn't try to do anything with it, now, but when my wife was using it, it was exceptionally easy to make significant adjustments - absolutely NO learning curve! She now happily uses ON1, as do I. I don't recall whether my wife was processing RAW files at that time. It was a very capable program, and by far the easiest to learn and use of any I've ever seen and tried (and there are many!).

My Samsung SmartPhone shoots 10-bit RAW. I rarely use that as I can get virtually the same quality from the phone's 8-bit JPGs. With my DSLRs I always shoot RAW (14-bit).

If had it on my Windows computer for years and they keep improving it. It's great for basic editing.

No tips or tricks are necessary in order to run Photoshop Express on Windows!!! Just download it for free from the Microsoft Store, install it - and run it. No instructions needed - just run it! Getting up to speed might require as long as three minutes!
