Adobe is bringing Photoshop and Illustrator to the web, allowing you to make changes to documents hosted in the cloud without having to download them and open the app.

While it's an exciting step forward for both programs, it's not a huge leap forward at this point: these aren't fully-featured versions of Photoshop and Illustrator. You can navigate layers, leave annotations and comments, and make basic edits using tools like the eraser, spot healing brush, and lasso selection tool. However, you'll need to open the app to make any meaningful changes.

The goal of Photoshop and Illustrator on the web is to make it easier for people you share files with for review — a client, an editor, a friend — to collaborate with you on adjustments. Previously, they could only annotate and comment on the document. But now, if they’re given the necessary permission, they’ll be able to go in and make some basic changes.
Adobe is also adding a panel to desktop Photoshop to control user feedback. And it's adding a new hub to its website to let teams organize assets and create collaborative mood boards.
You must be a Creative Cloud to use Photoshop on the web, which is available in beta starting today. Illustrator for the web is available as an invite-only beta and is accepting signups starting today.

There are also some other new features coming to Photoshop. The app’s object selection tool is getting even more powerful, showing you exactly what it can highlight as you hover over objects in your scene. There are also new neural filters: a landscape mixer lets you blend your scene with a different setting or era, and new color transfer and harmonization filters let you apply the look of one image or layer to another. Adobe says it’s also improved last year’s Depth Blur filter to create a “more natural background blur.”.
