With a new product called Photoshop Express, Adobe Systems is coming through on its promise to deliver a lightweight online version of Photoshop. At the Photoshop World conference on Thursday in Las Vegas, John Loiacono, senior vice president of Adobe’s Creative Solutions Business Unit, briefly demonstrated Photoshop Express and gave some details on how it is intended to work.
In February, Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen told CNET News.com that the company was planning an online version of Photoshop for release within three to six months. Chizen said the product was meant to appeal to consumers and to compete with free and other low-end image-editing tools, such as Google’s Picasa.
The product is aimed at consumers rather than professional photographers and is designed to complement existing products Photoshop Creative Suite 3 and Photoshop Elements, according to company executives.
Is Internet software the new trend?
