Adobe Photoshop to be available on the web with basic tools

You will no longer need to download Photoshop on your PC or Mac to do basic edits.

Adobe Photoshop is finally coming to the web, eliminating the need to download and install the software on your PC or Mac. The web version of Photoshop will work on the cloud, so everything you create or edit is saved to your account, in addition to letting you save your creations. The Illustrator app is also coming to the web, meaning a dedicated app may not be required.

Photoshop and Illustrator’s web counterparts sound super convenient because they let you edit your photo as easily as opening a website in any browser, but they lack extensive tools and what you get are simplified versions. Things you can do on these versions include navigating layers, adding annotations and comments, and using basic tools, such as the eraser, the selection lasso, and spot healing brush for editing. You can add texts to photos, as well, but for more advanced editing, you will have to switch to the app.
