Photoshop Express? I'm not Impressed

There's been a lot of hype about Adobe's new Photoshop Express service. I've played around with it and I think it's a dud. No matter what you may be able to do with it—image editing (very limited), storing 2 GBs of photos free, etc.—if it won't render your images well, it's a dud. And it doesn't. My images that look sharp and well rendered in SmugMug, well, they look mushy and blurry when you view them in PS express. Maybe one needs to upload them at just the right size. But if that's the case, then you need Photoshop or PS elements or Capture NX or some other image editor before you upload them to PS express. Then PS express becomes little more than a place online to store and share your images. And there are plenty of other image storage and viewing sites (like Smugmug) that offer a ton more options and actually render images well. I'm not wasting my time with PS Express.

A Family Photo- Finally!

I think it's been over a decade, maybe more, since we had a decent family photo. You can see a larger, better quality image here. Oh, and there's a good one of Chris and Spencer, too.

Warm and Sunny

It's been almost a week since I posted anything. We've been on vacation at Pensacola Beach since last Thursday. It's been in the 70s, sunny, and breezy since we got here. Today, after the weekend, the beaches are empty. Nothing new to say, just some pictures to post. You can see the rest here as I process and post them.

Whoops. I had the wrong link for my Pensacola gallery. Fixed it.

Shameless Bragging

I just heard that I'm one of the 15 finalists for the 2007 Nikonian Photographer of the Year award. Cool. I'm amazed. My wife reminded me that she was the one that told me to stop and capture that image. Looking at the other nice images, I don't think I'll win. But it's pretty flattering to have made it to the finals.

Creep Me Out!

I'm afraid to ask who's developing these things. Could it be Skynet?

Hands to Heaven

Thanks to Tim Werkema for the image from this past Sunday's worship service at Providence Reformed Presbyterian Church.

Updated, color corrected image.

Twilight Zone Morning

Hey, honey, did you see what's in our back yard this morning?

Better quality image.
