Wikipedia’s Ten Millionth Article – PhotoShop Express Free Online – Free Line Report 4.2.08

Break out the champagne and cake, it’s time to celebrate! Time for the first ever Free Line Lifetime Achievement Award. It goes to Wikipedia which just added their ten MILLIONTH article. What was this big milestone article, you ask? A Hungarian biography of 16th century painter Nicholas Hilliard. Congratulations Wikipedia! Here’s to ten million more – in a fraction of the time.

Adobe Photoshop has finally joined the Free Line Bandwagon, by offering an Express version of its software to online users – for free. The Express version of the software is extremely stripped down, and means to convert customers to the boxed versions of Adobe Elements and the full version of Photoshop. But that’s ok – it’s a start. And if you just need simple editing tools, Adobe now gives you a choice.

Right away, comparisons are being made of the various online photo editing options. Aviary, an online photo editor that is a complex and impressive tool in its own right, slammed Adobe’s offering in a blog post that compares the latest online based photo editors. It compares Aviary’s own utility, Fotoflexer and Picnik against Adobe’s Express, so if you’re looking for such a tool, check out this head to head comparison. Which by the way is an awesome example of the different kind of tricks you can do in Photoshop, like putting Colin Ferrel’s face on Tara Reid’s body. If you just went through the same exercises in this one blog post, you’d qualify as a graduate of Photoshop 101.

And to celebrate Adobe’s brave maneuver into Free Line territory, we have a link to the best Free video tutorials that show you how to use and abuse Photoshop’s many tools and utilities. Spend a bit of time and turn yourself into a graphic design master.

And finally, TagCow is a new website that lets you upload videos and then it automatically tags them for you — for free. The tags are surprisingly accurate — upload a picture of a witch, and it gets tagged “witch”. A lot of people are astounded at the website’s ability to provide fast and accurate tags, and some think that it might employ humans to do the tagging rather than a computer. In the end this doesn’t matter — you get quality tags fast and free for your digital photos!
