Bug Delays Flickr Support in Photoshop Express

By Scott Gilbertson May 8, 2008 Categories: Multimedia, Software & Tools

adobe6.jpgBack when Photoshop Express, Adobe’s online image editing tool, was first released it it lacked what many considered a killer feature — support for editing and organizing your Flickr photos. Adobe was set to release an update today that would have added Flickr support to Photoshop Express, however, a last minute bug prompted the company to delay the new features.

Without Flickr support, many users have elected to stick with other online editors like Picnik or FotoFlexer, so naturally Adobe wants to get the Flickr support up and running.

Based on the original press release that Adobe sent over last night, the Flickr features sound as if will they work much like the existing Photobucket or Picasa tools — just give Express your Flickr credentials and it will pull in all your images for editing.

However, Adobe issued a follow-up statement this morning:

As you know, we were preparing updates to the Photoshop Express beta on May 7th that added significant new functionality to the product.

However, prior to going live, we discovered a bug that requires a fix.

We’re committed to delivering a quality experience with Photoshop Express and don’t want to send out an update that isn’t ready for prime time. We’re working on a quick resolution. Stay tuned - we’ll have an exact time frame on when you can expect these new Photoshop Express features soon.

So for now the Flickr support is on hold, but the fact that Adobe is close is a change from when Photoshop Express launched and Adobe said Flickr support wouldn’t be part of the beta testing phase.

Since the release over a month ago users have uploaded some 65,000 public web albums, which is a pretty healthy amount considering that Photoshop Express is still a beta.

For a more in-depth look at what Express can and cannot do, check out our earlier coverage, and we’ll be sure to let you know when the Flickr features become available.
