Users of Chromebooks, laptops running Google's net-centric
ChromeOS, may finally be catching up with the more established platforms
as they will now have access to Adobe's Photoshop.
Product manager Stephen Konig said Chromebook users can access the
streaming version of Photoshop thanks to a partnership between Google
and Adobe.
But Konig said this will be initially
available for education customers, and only for those who have a paid
membership for Creative Cloud.
"Initially, this
will be available for U.S.-based Adobe education customers with a paid
Creative Cloud membership—so the Photoshop you know and love is now on
Chrome OS. No muss, no fuss," Konig said in a blog post.
Yet, he cited the potential advantages of using the cloud, including
using Google's online services such as Drive, Google+ Photos or Gmail.
He said the streaming version of Photoshop is designed to run "straight from the cloud to your Chromebook."
"It’s always up-to-date and fully integrated with Google Drive, so
there’s no need to download and re-upload files—just save your art
directly from Photoshop to the cloud," he said.
Konig said IT administrators will find this easy to manage, "with no long client installation and one-click deployment to your team’s Chromebooks." — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
