The first look is quite impressive. But as soon as I wanted to sign in or try it out, I faced an issue – I did not have the latest flash player. Looks like it does not work with just flash player 9, but needs the latest one (Adobe Flash Player version 9,0,115,0). Ok, update does not take much time.
If anyone has any issues even after updating to the latest flash player (like I did), try uninstalling the flash player and then reinstalling it again. That’s how it worked for me :o).
A test drive (trial) can be taken before you sign in. (this allows you to get a feel of it).
I was impressed by the simple, neat design and the way it functions. Once you sign in, first thing to do is upload photos. I did that too. Worked fine with uploading multiple photos ( I tried only 3 tho). And while uploading, you do have option for uploading to new album. The library has “Most Recent” photo option which is good. It shows only the photos that were uploaded recently and not all in the library.
Double click on any photo to start editing that.
You can start with the basic crop and rotate. Works neat. Then you can use the autocorrect to come up with some good results.
At any time, you can see the original photo again by clicking and holding the “View original” button. Neat too.
You can even view the history of the changes done.
There are many other options which gives an amateur photo editor a very good way of editing of photos.
Below you can see some “quick play around” results of Adobe Photoshop express.
Finally, you can flaunt ur skills through the gallery link Adobe provides (2 GB storage is not bad). Don’t forget to share your gallery, failing which it won’t be publicly available.
Oh, almost forgot that you can also get a link for your photo, get an embed tag, email photo directly.
Adobe Photoshop Express – A review
SEO Rap - Neat
The lyrics follows:
Your site design is the first thing people see
it should be reflective of you and the industry
easy to look at with a nice navigation
when you can’t find what you want it causes frustration
a clear Call to action to increase the temptation
use appealing graphics they create motivation
if you have animation
use with moderation
cause search engines can’t index the information
display the logos of all your associations
highlight your contact info that’s an obligation
create a clean design you can use some decoration
but to try to prevent any client hesitation
every page that they click should provide and explanation
should be easy to understand like having a conversation
when you design the style go ahead and use your imagination
but make sure you use correct color combinations
do some investigation, look at other organizations
but don’t duplicate or you might face a litigation
design done, congratulations but it’s time to start construction
follow these instructions when you move into production
your photoshop functions then slice that design
do your layout with divs make sure that it’s aligned
please don’t use tables even though they work fine
when it come to indexing they give searches a hard time
make it easy for the spiders to crawl what you provide
remove font type, font color and font size
no background colors, keep your coding real neat
tag your look and feel on a separate style sheet
better results with xml and css
now you making progress, a lil closer to success
describe your doctype so the browser can relate
make sure you do it great or it won’t validate
check in all browsers, I do it directly
gotta make sure that it renders correctly
some use IE, some others use Flock
some use AOL, I use Firefox
title everything including links and images
don’t use italics, use emphasis
don’t use bold, please use strong
if you use bold that’s old and wrong
when you use CSS, you page will load quicker
client satisfied like they eating on a snicker
they stuck on your page like you made it with a sticker
and then they convert now that’s the real kicker
make you a lil richer, your site a lil slicker
design and code right man I hope you get the picture
what I’m telling you is true man it should be a scripture
if it’s built right you’ll be the pick of the litter
everyone will want to follow you like twitter
competition will get bitter and you’ll shine like glitter
if you trying to grow your company will get bigger
design and code right man can you get with it
SMS2.0 – A review
SMS2.0 is an upgrade on the default/normal SMS available on cellphones. It’s available in India, only on Airtel (as of now).
You need to download this application and install it. The download is free. Even GPRS charges are waived.
Coming to features, it does give you some nice emoticons, background colour and font colour options. But yes, the emoticons and colour options work only on phones with SMS2.0. So, if you send it to a friend without SMS2.0, it does not work.
Also, you would have to compromise on your screen space. The bottom of your screen is used for ads. I use Nokia N70 and usually once I hit the “Send” button, after few secs, it goes back to the “wallpaper” screen. But with SMS2.0, it displays an ad and stops there.
To top it up, all the sms you send goes with “Sent by SMS2.0” added on to the end of the message. This sometimes gives a feel that we have sent the sms from some free website.
Overall, though the features were good, I was not very happy with the cons and had to uninstall within a couple of days on installing.
PS: Everything expressed here is my personal opinion.
