'Online' Photoshop planned

    There's an article on the Register about how Adobe are planning a free online ad funded version of Photoshop sometime over the next six months. All well and good, but if this is running entirely remotely as a hosted service, opening your 50Mb TIFF file is going to be just a tad painful given the upstream speeds of your average broadband connection (think 30ish seconds/Mb on your average Irish 256 kilobit upstream BB connection). Has anybody heard any more details on this?

    LOL, leaving a message on the board asking him to go back to the item he covered 40 mins back as you have only just finished downloading the TIFF file.

    However, knowing what these boys are like they will most likely have it as a much smaller file version to help in such circumstances.

    Modem connection, whats that?? :D:D

    Aren't they just looking to compete with those picnik type sites, rather than the usual heavy duty photoshop user? I mean, the type of person that wants to edit a bunch of pictures from a night out/wedding/holiday for the sake of sticking them on flickr or printing them out at a kiosk... not doing blends of multiple exposures or anything like that...

    It's just adobe's first step into centralizing it's software and securing their licensing. Think about it in 5 years time we may be using 10GB links to the Internet giving us something like 100Megabytes per second transfer speeds. Adobe would be happy to run it's latest version of photoshop and store everything within a virtual application session on one of their servers.

    Seb.
