Soon you will be able to stream Photoshop to your Chromebook


Credit: Google

Chromebooks are low-cost/low-power devices, so how is that platform a candidate to run Photoshop, one of the most processor-intensive programmes available?

This will be a streaming version of Photoshop. Streaming Photoshop, running on the Chromebook connects to a virtualized instance of Photoshop running on Adobe servers. Images are stored on Google Drive. It's Photoshop in the cloud.

Beta testing at the moment.
