What can the free version of Photoshop do?

The service’s description says that the web version of Photoshop will remain free, so some of the features that will eventually be available to paid subscribers will disappear. However, free users will be able to interact with the basic set of image editing tools.

We want to make Photoshop more accessible and simple so that more people can try and try this product,
– said Maria Yap, VP of Adobe.

A little about the web version of Photoshop

The first web version of Photoshop was released to the public last October. It is a simplified version of the graphic editor suitable for basic operations. While the web version of Photoshop has many useful tools, it is far inferior to the full version of the editor in terms of editing and rendering capabilities. However, the web version of Photoshop supports collaboration and other useful features.

The web version of Photoshop is designed to show users some of the editor’s features and attract new paid subscribers. Similarly, Adobe promotes other products such as Fresco and Express. No specific date has been set for when the free web version of Photoshop will be available outside of Canada.

New filter based on artificial intelligence

Adobe also introduced a new neural filter based on the AI ​​algorithm. The filter is called Photo Restoration and is designed to improve the quality of old photos. For example, it can be used to automatically remove scratches from an old yellowed photo and partially restore its color. Along with the existing Colorize filter designed to add color to black and white photos, Photo Restore helps you quickly bring old photos back to life.

Google’s “live” artificial intelligence

By the way, recently Google management had to send engineer Blake Lemoine, who works with the artificial intelligence system (AI) LaMDA, on paid leave. Lemoine said she was starting to show signs of consciousness. Google denies such claims and clarifies its point of view.

Blake claims that LaMDA actually becomes intelligent, conscious and has the developmental level of an 8-9 year old child. Google Vice President Blaise Ager-i-Arcas and chief innovation officer Jen Jennai investigated and dismissed their suspicions, and the engineer himself was placed on paid leave.
