![]() ![]() I’m unsure why Photoshop Express does not give you the option to change the font size, which would make it much easier to add text to your images. This is very hit and miss and sometimes it worked and other times it did not. However, if you go to the screen to export the image, it magically appears to be set correctly. Sometimes, when you zoom back out the text also changes size, and you end up with really large text. This appears to work but it’s far from perfect. ![]() Rather bizarrely, if you want smaller text than the default provided, you need to zoom into your image. However, I was unable to change the font size of the text, which is really limited. It’s easy enough to add some text and to position the text where you want it to be displayed on your image. Adding text to your imagesĪdding text to your images is not as easy as it could be. You can also add different borders to your images and again there are plenty of pre-installed options to choose from. However, you do have an option to add pre-installed clipart. It does not give you the option to import a further image, which makes it rather limited. Rotating or flipping the image is also easily done and you can also transform your image with vertical and horizontal skew. Again, it comes with a lot of default options or you can set your own default dimensions for the crop. For example, it’s easy to change an image into a black and white or to add an orange tint to your image. You’ve got options to change the colour of your image, which comes with lots of default options to choose from. However, it would be more user-friendly if the icons also provided some text. This means you need to use all the different features to understand how they will change your image. Annoyingly if you hover over these icons it does not explain what the feature does. This is presented by a list of icons at the bottom of the screen. Once you’ve chosen the picture to edit you’re presented with a few options. However, you need to remember these files are stored locally, so you may want to move them to your Google Drive to save on storage space and to keep your files safe. This is a good feature because it means you can easily locate your movies, music or pictures depending on the Android App that created them. In this instance, when you click on images a new folder has been created specifically for the installed app ‘Photoshop Express’. In this folder, there is a movie, music and pictures folder. This is saved on your local drive under the folder ‘Play Files’. It also includes images that have been saved the dedicated folder for Photoshop Express.Ĭhromebooks that have Android App capability now have a new file location. The images shown include images you’ve saved from the internet in your downloads folder. The images available are displayed on the screen in a tile formation. The first thing you need to do when using Photoshop Express is to choose an image you want to edit. However, once you’ve used Photoshop Express for a while you get used to navigating around the software. The way you navigate around the software is difficult to get used to if you’ve been used to using professional graphics software on Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac. This will hopefully change in the future as more and more Chromebooks come with Android App support. This is probably going to be a problem for Android Apps when using a Chromebook. It works perfectly well with your keyboard and touchpad, but you can tell the layout was designed for mobile devices. The navigation of Photoshop Express takes some getting used to and this is most likely because it was designed for mobile phones and tablets. Thankfully, this only happens once and when you start Photoshop Express in the future it takes you straight into the program. This did the trick and I was then able to log in using my Google Account. The only way to fix the problem was by shutting down the Chromebook. This was really frustrating, as what should have been a one minute task ended up taking much longer. I then decided to register an Adobe account and a different error message appeared. When I tried to register again via Google it gave the same error message. I tried to register with Google, but it stated an error occurred and to try again.Ĭlosing down the application and restarting it did not fix the problem. You can do this using your Google, Facebook or by setting up an Adobe account. When you first install Photoshop Express you need to register your details with Adobe. This review looks at the Photoshop Express Android App and how it works on a Chromebook. One of the concerns about the Chromebook over the years is that it does not have the capability of doing graphic design. ![]()
