Comments on: Adobe: Online Photoshop coming this year

The image-editing powerhouse will offer a beta version of its online version of Photoshop this year and put it into production in 2008.

It's not a bad idea

I'm wondering how the rendering speed will be and such. Interesting idea though.

Indeed

Just waiting for the first "Adobe bloatware" comment to appear myself. Wouldn't be CNET without it....

rendering speed was snappy

The response time was good in the demo, but presumably Johnny L had the server all to himself. Bear in mind that the interface presents a number of options more than it performed a lot of real-time processing.

Futz? What's he talking about?

>>so people don't have to futz with processing the photos afterward, he said.<<

Half the fun of digital photography is in the futzing. In fact, many a graphics designer was born from "futzing around" with software. Adobe now thinks "futzing" is bad?

Well, Futz you, Adobe. :P

Futzing not for everybody

I think that you can rest assured that futzing will not be disabled in future Adobe software products. :)

But one person's futzing is another person's drudgery and another's impossibly high technical barrier.
