SAN FRANCISCO -- The maker of the popular photo-editing software Photoshop on Thursday launched a basic version available for free online.
San Jose, Calif.-based Adobe Systems Inc. says it hopes to boost its name recognition among a new generation of consumers who edit, store and share photos online.
While Photoshop is designed for trained professionals, Adobe says Photoshop Express, which it launched in a "beta" test version, is easier to learn. User comments will be taken into account for future upgrades.
Photoshop Express will be completely Web-based so consumers can use it with any type of computer, operating system and browser. And, once they register, users can get to their accounts from different computers.

YouTube to Announce New Metrics Tool
March 27, 2008; Page B8
YouTube plans Thursday to announce a new tool that lets anyone who uploads a video to the Web site see detailed metrics about who is watching the video. The new data will include measures such as in what parts of world -- or, in the U.S., in which states -- certain videos are popular and how long it takes for a video to peak in popularity. Only the person or organization that uploads a video will have access to this data.
In coming weeks, YouTube, owned by Google Inc., also plans to introduce a feature that shows how people come to watch different clips, whether through a search engine, a related video or a link on another Web site. Until now, YouTube has published only statistics about the total number of views, and the comments or ratings a video received.
