Adobe Express is winning all the accolades and even impressed fellow DCI writer Jennifer Nelson whose comprehensive review can be read here. However Section 8 of the Photoshop Express terms of use has raised some concerns about the content as it reads like this:

“with respect to Your Content that you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Services, you grant Adobe a worldwide, royalty-free, nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sub licensable license to use, distribute, derive revenue or other remuneration from, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display such Content (in whole or in part) and to incorporate such Content into other Materials or works in any format or medium now known or later developed."

But looks like Adobe plans to revise the terms and assured blogger John Nack who received this following email from the Express team:

"We've heard your concerns about the terms of service for Photoshop Express beta. We reviewed the terms in context of your comments - and we agree that it currently implies things we would never do with the content. Therefore, our legal team is making it a priority to post revised terms that are more appropriate for Photoshop Express users. We will alert you once we have posted new terms. Thank you for your feedback on Photoshop Express beta and we appreciate your input."
