On Wednesday, Adobe released Photoshop for the web to everyone subscribed to a paid Adobe Creative Cloud plan. Firefly-powered AI tools like generative fill and generative expand are now available in the web beta after almost two years of development.
The firm claimed that the web-based toolbar’s tools are organized into categories delineated by common tasks, such as image replication and object selection. For newcomers, Photoshop’s online interface displays the tools’ full names rather than just a brief description found in the tooltip.
Adobe claims that users can easily share links to files with one another to facilitate collaboration, even if the recipient does not have a subscription.
In May, the company announced new Firefly-powered features like generative expand and generative fill. These features allow users to expand an image and fill it with content based on a prompt, and to add or remove objects from an image without disrupting the overall context. These capabilities were not released until the beta version of Adobe Photoshop. Adobe will now have a new platform to issue faster updates or test features, as they will be accessible via the web version as well.
According to Adobe, the desktop’s contextual taskbar, which recommends actions and tools based on the current workflow, is also available in the web-based version. However, it does not yet have a polygonal lasso, smart object support, a patch tool, or a pen tool. According to the company, efforts are underway to add these capabilities to the web version of Photoshop.
According to The Verge, Adobe has stated that it has no current plans to release a free or freemium version of Photoshop for use in the web browser.
