Photoshop for the Web, a new version of the online image editing program solution, will improve the features of the first version and will be freely available to all users. It is currently being tested by Adobe in Canada and is expected to be available worldwide soon.

Photoshop is a world leader in graphics editing software. Although there is no shortage of alternatives, some are as good as Gimp, becoming the de facto standard of professional photography and graphic editing and retouching in 32 years on the market.

Photoshop for web, free

In an effort to extend the reach to the average user and potentially make them paying customers in the future, this free version will include plenty of tools “Do what Adobe considers essential to Photoshop”explains The Verge in the information the company has confirmed.

Significant performance improvements are expected over the previous web-based version of Photoshop, which was released last fall and was focused on collaboration and allows users to do little more than share and comment on documents through a browser. An Adobe spokesman confirmed “All editing functions will be available”.

Even so, we have to wait as far as its qualities go. Some reports describe this version as a service “freemium”indicating that some of its features may require a paid subscription in the future.

At this time, the restored Photoshop for Web can only be run in any browser with an Adobe ID, and also for free. It is offered as a pilot program in Canada and is expected to expand to the rest of the world soon.
