After nearly two years of testing, Adobe’s Photoshop web service (online web version) is now fully launched.
According to information shared by Adobe with The Verge, the web version of Photoshop will soon support AI-generated fill and generate extended image tools, which have recently been released for the desktop version of Photoshop.
Powered by the Adobe Firefly generative AI model, these features are commercially available and allow users to quickly add, remove, or expand images using text-based descriptions in more than 100 languages while matching the lighting conditions and perspective of the original image.
Photoshop for the web also offers many of the most commonly used tools from the desktop version, but with a redesigned layout to provide a more “simplified” user experience for new Photoshop users. These include the contextual taskbar feature added to the desktop Photoshop app earlier this year, which advises users on the most relevant steps to take in their workflow.
Additionally, tools for similar workflows, such as those for selecting objects and retouching images, are grouped together to simplify the interface. For veterans who prefer the complex UI of desktop Photoshop, this simplified design can be disabled . Adobe says desktop features such as the patch tool, pen tool, smart object support, polygonal lasso and more will also be added to the web version “soon.”
Photoshop for the web also allows users to invite others to collaborate on projects, and other Photoshop users can view and comment on images.
The web version of Photoshop service is included in the Photoshop paid plan, starting at US$9.99 per month (IT House Note: currently about 73 yuan), and will not provide a free experience.
