Stamps.com teams with Adobe

Stamps.com has announced a deal with Adobe Systems to help consumers make PhotoStamps with Adobe Photoshop products. PhotoStamps are legal U.S. postage that use images such as personal photos and company logos. A PhotoStamp option will be included in Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition for Windows, Photoshop Elements 3.0 for Windows, and Photoshop Elements 4.0 and Photoshop CS2 for both Windows and Mac. The Web-enabled Photoshop feature will let users see PhotoStamps Web pages from within the application.

Stamps.com is a licensed vendor of the U.S. Postal Service. PhotoStamps are available in a wide range of postage value denominations but do cost more than Postal Service-issued stamps. A 20-stamp sheet of 39 cent stamps is $17.99, though bulk orders bring down the price.
