Advertisement Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Hi Guest Metroman, Take a look here Photoshop Online!. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jason Posted March 1, 2007 Share #2 Posted March 1, 2007 So let me get this straight - according to some on-line sources, this service will be free. This I very much doubt. A phyisical copy on your machine costs over £500 in the UK, yet apparently people will be able to use it on-line for nothing. Colour me dubious...

abrewer Posted March 1, 2007 Share #3 Posted March 1, 2007 'Bout time. One large midwestern University has already tossed Photoshop Elements overboard in favor of "Free Picassa" for its students who need a low-price, straightforward image editing package. With the ever-growing (over)-complexity of Photoshop and staggering price, they had to do something before the next generation of users become strangers to their product. They had a monopoly on the web-publishing market as long as bandwidth was scarce, and you had to have a PC ap to do this kind of stuff. Now we're awash in more fiber-optic capacity than you can shake a stick at. Bring it on. Thanks. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted March 1, 2007 Share #4 Posted March 1, 2007 Allan, I understand what you mean about Photoshop being complex, and I'm sure that most of us only use 5% of what it can do, but the problem is we don't all use exactly the same 5%. Another point to bear in mind is that the article says that it'll be an entry level piece of somftware, so I'd expect something with less functionality that Elements. And finally what happens if you want to edit and you're not near a broadband connection? If you fall into this category then you're going to have to have the software on your laptop, and if that's the case what's the attraction of the online version? I realise that the product would have appeal for the casual user, but I can't believe that anyone here would abandon their current software to use it, because of the ads if nothing else :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted March 1, 2007 Share #5 Posted March 1, 2007 Hi Steve. If Adobe can do no better with online editing than they are doing this afternoon with their online "Lightroom Ship Party", they'll never get out of the starting gate. What a disaster! LOL! Thanks.

Guest Metroman Posted March 1, 2007 Share #6 Posted March 1, 2007 I think it will probably be 'Photoshop' in name only and possibly lighter than Elements and may also have restrictions on maximum file size and possibly file formats. Having used Photoshop since it first came out and moved up with each version - as many here have - it will not be of interest to me. The Photoshop name may bring in those who cannot justify buying it outright in the hope of enticing people into the bigger purchase of either Elements or the full blown version further down the line. Call me cynical but it is probably more closely aligned with Sales & Marketing and extending the user base of their graphics software and getting people to test the water.

brunom Posted March 1, 2007 Share #7 Posted March 1, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Andy I agree that it will be more or less a watered down Elements, but I think it's more likely being done because of Google's recent efforts and that Co's future plans. Still good news though. Bruno Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
