Hoping to get a jump on Google and other competitors, Adobe Systems plans to release a hosted version of its popular Photoshop image-editing application within six months, the company's chief executive said on Tuesday.
The new online service is part of a larger move to introduce ad-supported online services to complement its existing products and broaden the company reach into the consumer market, Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen told CNET News.com.
Chizen said Adobe laid the foundation for a hosted Photoshop product with Adobe Remix, a Web-based video-editing tool it now offers through the PhotoBucket media-sharing site.
Like Adobe Remix, the hosted Photoshop service will be free and marketed as an entry-level version of Adobe's more sophisticated digital image editors, including Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. Chizen envisions revenue from the Photoshop service will come from online advertising.
