Adobe To Move To On-Line Only Applications

Web based applications have become the standard that many companies are leaning towards. Now it looks like Adobe is planing to move completely to a web based service. Within the next 5 to 10 years, all of Adobe's applications (including Photoshop) will be web based. This makes so much sense because a user wouldn't have to dump gigs of software on their system. Also companies would be able to restrict piracy much better, and make changes and updates easier.

I get the feeling that Adobe will not be the last to start doing business like this.

Adobe Photoshop Express: Is On Line And Free

John Nack who is the Senior Product Manager for Photoshop has confirmed the development of Adobe Photoshop Express. This will be a free on-line photo editor that is not meant to replace the Adobe that we all know and love, but it will appeal more to the masses. It looks like Adobe has simplified the Adobe Photoshop to help beginners get a better feel for photo editing.

For people who might have been intimidated by Photoshop, this might be the one to try.
