\nAdobe has started testing a free-to-use version of Photoshop on the web and plans to open the service up to everyone as a way to introduce more users to the app.<\/p>\n
The company is now testing the free version in Canada, where users are able to access Photoshop on the web through a free Adobe account. Adobe describes the service as \u201cfreemium\u201d and eventually plans to gate off some features that will be exclusive to paying subscribers. Enough tools will be freely available to perform what Adobe considers to be Photoshop\u2019s core functions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to make [Photoshop] more accessible and easier for more people to try it out and experience the product,\u201d says Maria Yap, Adobe\u2019s VP of digital imaging.<\/p>\n

    Photoshop on the web.<\/em><\/figcaption>Image: Adobe<\/cite><\/p>\n    <\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nAdobe first released its web version of Photoshop<\/a> in October, delivering a simplified version of the app that could be used to handle basic edits. Layers and core editing tools made the jump, but the service didn\u2019t come anywhere close to including the app\u2019s full breadth of features. Instead, Adobe framed it primarily as a collaboration tool \u2014 a way for an artist to share an image with others and have them jump in, leave some annotations and make a couple small tweaks, and hand it back over.<\/p>\n
In the months since, Adobe has made a handful of updates to the service, and it\u2019s also started to open it up beyond collaboration use cases. Before, someone had to share a document to the web from the desktop app, but now, any Photoshop subscriber can log in<\/a> and start a new document straight from the web.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI want to see Photoshop meet users where they\u2019re at now.\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nAdobe\u2019s goal is to use the web version of Photoshop to make the app more accessible and potentially hook users who\u2019ll want to pay for the full version down the road. The company has taken a similar route with a number of its mobile apps, including Fresco and Express. The web version of Photoshop is a particularly important offering since it opens one of the company\u2019s most powerful tools up to Chromebooks, which are widely used in schools.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to see Photoshop meet users where they\u2019re at now,\u201d Yap says. \u201cYou don\u2019t need a high-end machine to come into Photoshop.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adobe didn\u2019t provide a timeline on when the freemium version would launch more widely. In the meantime, the company is continuing to update Photoshop for web with more tools, including refine edge, curves, the doge and burn tools, and the ability to convert Smart Objects. The web version is also getting mobile support for reviewing and commenting on images.<\/p>\n
Adobe also previewed a new AI-powered Neural Filter today that\u2019s coming to Photoshop proper. The new \u201cphoto restoration\u201d filter can take a beaten-up yellowed photo and automatically clean up scratches and restore some of its color. When combined with Adobe\u2019s existing colorize filter for adding color to black-and-white photos, the two filters can quickly bring an old photo to life, even if the end result looks a bit cartoony.<\/p>\n
