Slash LanePhotoshop Express will be an online version of the San Jose, Calif.-based company's industry standard image editing software, Photoshop.
The software, reports Macworld UK, will run under existing web browsers, letting users perform basic image adjustments, such as red-eye removal, cropping, colour adjustment and image retouching.
Adobe is introducing limited functionality Photoshop Express as part of its move to providing software as a service. Company chief executive Bruce Chizen has recently vouched his belief that online software will become the de facto standard for software distribution within the next decade.
Adobe presently plans to license Photoshop Express to photo-oriented website including Shutterfly and Photobucket.

Adobe has confirmed it will make a beta version of its online Photshop Express software available before the end of the year, with a finalized version penciled in for availability sometime in 2008.
Hmmm, what about Photoshop Elements first, Adobe?

I disagree, I don't know why some people think that internet based software is going to take over. If my internet goes out so do my apps? Nah, I'll stick to offline software.

Too late, Adobe!

Goodbye Adobe, hello open source! Software as an online service will never fly...

This might be nice for those websites, provided that users don't have to pay extra for the service. If they do, it'll bomb. I think computer users everywhere are spending enough for software these days. Honestly, greed is gonna be the end of companies like Microsoft and Adobe, who levy a heavy tax for their software. Open source alternatives might be a little ways off of providing quite the level of amenities that their software currently supplies, and some of the interfaces are still being worked out, but give it time.

Maybe for casual use, but I don't see how power users like myself are going to open up a 100 gig Photoshop Extended file and use the layers and 3D features inside of a browser. Good Luck.
