JAKARTA - Adobe has reportedly tested a free version of Photoshop that can be used over the web. In addition, Adobe also plans to open this service to everyone to introduce the application to more users.
According to a report from The Verge, Adobe is now testing this free version in Canada. The company describes the service as freemium, and plans to cover some features exclusive to subscription plans in Photoshop.
"We wanted to make (Photoshop) more accessible and easier for more people to try and experience this product," said Maria Yap, VP of digital imaging at Adobe.
Adobe first released the web version of Photoshop in October last year. In this web version, Adobe provides a simpler view of the application, which can still handle basic editing.
The company's goal for the web version was to make the app easy to access and potentially attract users who want to pay for the full version later.
“I want to see Photoshop meet users wherever they are now, so you don't need a high-end machine to get into Photoshop,” says Yap.
For now, Adobe has not provided a timeline for when the freemium version will roll out more broadly. Meanwhile, the company continues to update Photoshop for the web with more tools, including new functionality such as Curves enhancements, RefineEdge, Dodge and Burn, and Smart Objects conversion. The web version also gets mobile support for reviewing and commenting on images.
