Adobe has announced the launch of its full version of Photoshop on the web, a browser-based service that allows users to access and edit their images from any device. The web version of Photoshop includes some of the most popular features from the desktop app, such as Generative Fill and Generative Expand, which use Adobe’s Firefly generative AI to manipulate images with natural language commands.
Photoshop on the web is a simplified and streamlined version of the desktop app, designed to make it easier for new users to get started with photo editing. The web version has a redesigned layout that groups tools by their functions and suggests the most relevant steps to take in each workflow. Users can also switch to the classic desktop interface if they prefer.
Photoshop on the web also enables users to collaborate on projects with others, who can view and comment on files without an active Photoshop subscription. Users can also open any PSD file that has been created with Photoshop in the past 30 years, and save their work to the cloud or download it to their device.
Photoshop on the web: AI-powered features for creative expression
One of the most exciting features of Photoshop on the web is the integration of Adobe’s Firefly generative AI, which allows users to manipulate images with natural language commands. For example, users can use Generative Fill to remove unwanted objects from an image, or Generative Expand to extend an image beyond its original dimensions. The AI model will automatically fill in or expand the image while matching the lighting, perspective, and style of the original.
Users can also use Firefly to create new images from scratch, by typing in text descriptions of what they want to see. For example, users can type in “a sunset over a lake with mountains” and Firefly will generate an image that matches their request. Users can then edit and refine the image as they wish.
Photoshop on the web: availability and pricing
Photoshop on the web is now available as part of all Photoshop paid plans, which start at $9.99 per month. Users can access the web version by logging in to their Adobe account on any browser and device. Adobe does not have immediate plans for a free-to-use version of Photoshop on the web, but users can try out some interactive demos and tutorials on Adobe’s website before committing to a subscription.
Photoshop on the web is a new way for users to access and edit their images from anywhere, with some of the most powerful features from the desktop app. With Firefly generative AI, users can also unleash their creativity and create new images with natural language commands.
