Adobe, which has played a major role in shaping the digital world with its dozens of software, came up with big news for Photoshop and Lightroom today. It was shared that the normally paid version of Photoshop, which works in the internet browser, is in the testing phase and the software will be completely free.
According to the announcement shared by Adobe, the company has started testing the free and browser-based version of Adobe Photoshop in Canada. Detailed information about the service called ‘freemium’, which can be accessed with an Adobe account, was also shared. Adobe shared that this version will also load the task of pulling users to the main Photoshop version.
What will Freemium Photoshop offer?
Although Adobe actually released the browser-based version of Photoshop in October, this version was not a preferred version. The version, which is planned to offer simple photo editing, was mostly used for photo editors to share photos with each other and make minor edits by leaving notes to each other.
With the passing months, Adobe has made many updates on this version. Maria Yap, Vice President of the company, shared in her statement, “I want to see Photoshop meet with users where they are right now. You don’t need a high-end machine to get into Photoshop.” she said.
Adobe has not shared any information on when the ‘freemium’ Photoshop will be released worldwide. Browser-based Photoshop will include basic photo editing tools and some AI-powered technologies that the main Photoshop application has. One of these technologies will be a filter that transforms old photos into the present.
Lightroom goes beyond just photo editing:
Another news came from Adobe’s popular application Lightroom, which is used with Photoshop. Lightroom, which has been used to make settings such as detailed lighting and exposure adjustment in photos, can now be used in videos, according to the announcement shared by Adobe. With Lightroom, color editing and simple cropping of videos can be done. However, video clips cannot be edited on a single timeline. In other words, Lightroom will function as a color editor for videos, just as it does for photos.
Video editing in Lightroom will come to both desktop and mobile versions. In addition to this feature, some artificial intelligence-supported features such as ‘adaptive preset’ filters will be added to the application. With these features, the subject or the sky in the video can be edited separately with the support of artificial intelligence.
