Awesome. I've been using ImageWell on Mac for photo resizing, but this might be even easier.

Is this the same people who do SEOMoz? Just ask because it has a similar header style.

I actually forgot I'm using browser for a moment :-) Brilliant.

Bravo! (With extra kudos for having the design sense to include the 'Jump In' button)

Now let me point you to the S3 bucket, web directory, Picasa, flickr account, etc. where I store all of my photos.

I might not have to buy Photoshop for my new Mac Mini now.

Ditto. One gripe in playing with it for a few minutes, though, is that it didn't ask me to save changes to my document before closing it.

A right-click context menu would also be killer.

Cool app.

What I don't get is why hasn't Adobe done this already w/ Photoshop? A online version that is subscription based. The industry is slowly moving towards that direction, maybe they will follow.

I have been using Photoshop.com for a while now and this app is much much more stable. It's also about 10x faster, I'm impressed.

It's just like Adobe to build a bloated application.

I have a copy of CS3 installed locally but I often just want to do a quick edit and was using the online PS version (I've tried aviary too) and I wasn't very happy with the other options.

If you want to compare try uploading a file in both apps. In photoshop.com it takes about 30 seconds for even the dialog box to open.

I don't get what's unique about this. splashup.com and picnik have similar services.
