Since then, we've seen impressive co-development where web apps push the boundaries of what's possible, and browser vendors respond by further expanding web capabilities. Early apps like Gmail showed that more complex interactivity and applications were at least possible. The web started out as a platform only suited for documents, but has grown dramatically throughout its history. Since then, a plethora of amazing applications, such as those we've shown off in the past, have adopted this model and now Photoshop, too, will benefit.

Most of us know how easy it is to start a document, send the link to someone, and immediately jump into not only the application, but the specific document or comment as well.

Google Docs was a pioneer of this simplified access. This makes the web the ideal collaboration platform, something that is becoming more and more essential to creative and marketing teams. For web applications, that means users can have access to the application and their documents and comments. There is no need to install an application or worry about what operating system you are running on. The simple power of a URL is that anyone can click it and instantly access it. These advantages include many unique capabilities such as being linkable, ephemeral, and universal, but they boil down to enabling simple access, easy sharing, and great collaboration.

Why Photoshop came to the web #Īs the web has evolved, one thing that hasn't changed are the core advantages that websites and web apps offer over platform-specific applications.

You can use all the APIs Adobe used and more in your own apps as well. In this post, we'd like to share for the first time the details of how our collaboration is extending Photoshop to the web.
