After almost two years in beta, Adobe\u2019s Photoshop on the web service \u2014 a simplified online version of the company\u2019s desktop photo editing app \u2014 is now generally available starting Wednesday, September 27th. According to information Adobe shared with The Verge<\/em>, Photoshop on the web is launching with the popular Generative Fill and Generative Expand tools<\/a> that were recently released for the desktop version of Photoshop.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Photoshop on the web also provides many of its desktop equivalent\u2019s most commonly used tools but with a redesigned layout that provides new Photoshop users with a more \u201cstreamlined\u201d user experience. This includes the Contextual Task Bar<\/a> feature \u2014\u00a0which suggests the most relevant steps to take in your workflow \u2014\u00a0that was added to the desktop Photoshop app earlier this year. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Tools that share similar workflows \u2014 like those used to select objects and retouch images \u2014 are named and grouped together on the toolbar to make the software easier to navigate. This view can be disabled for experienced creatives who prefer the look of the desktop version of Photoshop\u2019s user interface. Adobe says that desktop features like the patch tool, pen tool, smart object support, polygonal lasso, and more will be added \u201csoon.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Photoshop on the web also enables users to invite others to collaborate on projects and allows those without an active Photoshop description to view and comment on files.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The web-based Photoshop service is included as part of all Photoshop paid plans (which start at $9.99 per month) and will not be available as a free-to-use experience at launch. Adobe started testing a \u201cfreemium\u201d version of its Photoshop for the web experience in June last year after the initial beta release of Photoshop for the web in 2021<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
