Tip from Modaco

I just ran a tweet about this but then thought I should expand on it. Adobe just released Photoshop for mobile beta, along with acompanying website for sharing photos.

My first thoughts are: “COOOOOOL!”

My second thoughts are: “Why now?”

I mean, there are so many photo-sharing apps out there already, that it seems awful late in the game for this kind of thing. But still… it’s Adobe, one of the most successful, trail-blazing companies out there. I’m sure they thought about this and did some research. I mean come on, they developed and maintain one of the most significant software applications of all time. Why not try to add services to extend it?

Initially, it looks like you get 2GB of space for public and private galleries. Also it has an auto upload feature that can happen right after you take a picture with your phone. So, you can in theory, use their server to upload and store your images and then delete them from your phone immediately, and this is compelling. I assume they will upload the full res image.  (One of the big beefs I always had with a similar service at Dashwire is that they reformatted the images and the stored ones were not at the same resolution as the original). Hopefully, Adobe has thought about this.

If nothing else, photoshop.com is a pretty sweet Adobe Flex application. I am eager to use it to see how well it works.

More to come…
