The long-awaited Adobe Photoshop on the web is now here, and this is the simpler version of the original desktop app that users may take anywhere as long as there is an internet connection. Besides offering its photo editing features, Adobe added Firefly's generative AI tools to help users with what they do, trained under its licenses.
Photoshop's web version was in the beta testing phase for a long time, with other companies already offering it widely to the public, now looking to catch up.
Adobe Photoshop on the Web: Now Available
Adobe's Photoshop is now available on the web, and according to The Verge, it is accessible starting today, September 27, bringing its light and portable experience to many.
With only an internet connection, the simplified version of Photoshop is here to bring your edits to life, helping users get the most out of their online photo editing needs. This release rivals the existing online image editors worldwide, including Canva, Photopea, Wondershare, and more.
The only caveat here is all of Photoshop's web access would be behind a paywall, particularly for those subscribed to its paid plans for the app starting at $9.99. A free-to-use version will no longer be available.
Firefly Generative AI Tools in Photoshop Web
The familiar tools will be available in this web version, but not all advanced ones will be accessible. However, Adobe leverages its Firefly AI's Generative Fill and Generative Expand tools here, adding these AI features to assist users in their creation.
Image Editing Apps and AI
Adobe may be the latest company to offer an image editing app that also leverages AI, particularly for the Photoshop app. However, they were not among the early ones to offer it.
There is Canva, a renowned company that expanded on its AI offering for all editing needs, coupled with its internet-based multimedia editing suite that is among the popular destinations now.
Many AI developments now focus not only on generative AI but also on using artificial intelligence in altering or editing photos uploaded by users, changing scenarios, subjects, and more.
Generative AI is one of the top technologies in the world now, with Adobe also part of this revolution with the Firefly AI, offering its exclusive Adobe licensing for what it creates from prompts.
The many products of Adobe are already receiving their fair share of AI upgrades today, leveraging more generative technologies that uplift the creativity in each creation.
Photoshop's web version is now available, but it adds a slur of AI tools and features that could help improve the project, no longer needing the app to get the most out of their experiences.
