I just signed up for the free account...and am waiting. :) The sign up process cautioned that there might be up to a 60 minute delay for the email verification to hit my inbox:

Due to the extremely high interest in creating new Photoshop Express accounts today, you may experience a delay of 60 minutes or more in receiving your account verification email. Thank you for your patience!

No problem, I'll take a test-drive of the site with their tour. Pretty cool. Really easy to use. It has the "Basics" (crop, exposure, red-eye removal) plus *touchup* (for fixing scratches); "Tuning options (like sharpen, white balance) plus a *soft focus* tool; and "Effects" (tint, hue) plus cool *sketch* and *distort* (yeah, make her eyeballs really big LOL).

Can't wait to get started. I'll keep you posted. :)
