Adobe Photoshop is available in an online version, Photoshop Express. – https://www.photoshop.com/express/landing.html
The move is reportedly to introduce – and then up-sell paid versions – to new and younger web users (i.e. Facebook, MySpace, Bebo users). The perceived results: our promo-sexual culture will have the power to exercise a new level self-flattery by touching up their user profile images, and clone out the booze, cigarettes, and cleavage on the public-page images of the those climbing the professional ladder. At worse, every image will begin to have very straight teeth or even more powerful – offer the tools to remove your unsavory friends from you photos, whose rude gestures or mere associations would degrade one’s online reputation.
Now it will start to get interesting! The masses are gaining more and more access to tools that were historically unattainable by the untrained (and unaware), but now we are all publishers… of ourselves at least, and the tools are within reach, and the motivation to paint a better picture of ourselves (pun intended) is a better motive than even money can make.
