Photoshop as an Online App
So doing the normal browsing today, and came across a very interesting article about Adobe’s plans to bring Photoshop to the web. At first thought, it seems interesting, but I wonder how big of an impact this will have on it’s current desktop application.
The first thing that came to mind after reading this article, was a post that I wrote about leaving desktop apps behind, and with Adobe’s decision to take Photoshop to the web, makes this all the more possible. Even though I use the web for basically everything, I don’t think that I will ever fully succumb to using a web browser for my primary photoshop use.
What makes me even more curious, is that if Adobe plans on having this web version of photoshop, what other apps in the creative suite do they plan on doing this with, because I’m quite sure that it has come up in conversation there.
As a colleague mentioned to me earlier, a cool feature about this being on the web would be the collaboration factor (in realtime), allowing multiple people to work on one document as a team. That is when using photoshop on the web would interest me. Is there even anything like that?
Seems like a good opportunity for Adobe, so we will see where this goes.
I’d like to know others’ thoughts on this.
