Photoshop News : Online version of photoshop available in six months.

A story on news.com is revealing that an online version of Photoshop will be up and running in six months. Apparently the online version will be free but supported by ads (quelle suprise). It also sounds like it will be "Photoshop Extra-lite" and will be a stripped down version of grown-up Photoshop.

It's hard to imagine how a program which uses such large files could run smoothly online but then there are so many mind-boggling things that Adobe products can do, I'm sure they'll work something out.

News reports about the release of Creative Suite 3 are mentioning a release date of around the 27th of March.

Betanews quotes an expert from Merrill Lynch:

"Jay Vleeschhouwer, the analyst who wrote the report disclosing the release date, says he expects about six different CS3 product suites, and 14 individual products overall. Core CS3 products would include Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign."

As an instructor in New Media Creative Design, this is very exciting but also means lots of hard work learning the new programs. (Although, realistically, it's not tooooo hard, having to play with Photoshop and checking out its new features).
