Nobody really checks the Adobe’s official press site for Photoshop Tutorials, rather webmasters prefer sites like Good-Tutorials.com and Tutorialized.com for user submitted tutorials. However I should say that Adobe’s site is worth visiting, it has a large amount of tutorials on their products. They also have total of 76 tutorials on Macromedia products that they have acquired.

Almost all the tutorials are from the books that Adobe Press have published.

Adobe Systems plans to release an online version of its Adobe Photoshop in six months, the company’s chief executive said Tuesday. Wow, what a move! (Not sure if it’s a smart move though). Most normal PCs cannot even run Adobe Photoshop properly, because the program is just too huge and eats up all the memory. Imagine an online version, what kind of connection and PC you will need to run the online version?

I guess it will be a simpler version of Photoshop, and I hope it will be free. Your thoughts?
