Comments on: Is An Online Photoshop Feasible? http://www.heritage-tech.net/379/is-an-online-photoshop-feasible/ A Notepad of Tech, Business, Science and Self Improvement Thu, 20 Nov 2008 12:27:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Ben http://www.heritage-tech.net/379/is-an-online-photoshop-feasible/#comment-43906 Ben Sun, 04 Mar 2007 04:06:56 +0000 http://www.heritage-tech.net/379/is-an-online-photoshop-feasible/#comment-43906 I'm skeptical of Web 2.0 apps in general, but this has me astounded. It's taken close to 20 years for computer hardware to advance to the point where designers can create their work (almost) without interference or hindrance from slow processors and limited memory; and now, someone thinks they can just rewrite the thing in ActionScript and actually end up with a useable application. Forget online MS Paint: this thing will barely give MacPaint 1.0 a run for its money. I’m skeptical of Web 2.0 apps in general, but this has me astounded.

I was talking to a professional photographer the other day who'd never heard of GIMP and insisted that it can't do anything like Photoshop! lol We'll have to wait and see if Photoshop is feasible on-line. I don't think so, after all, a lot of photos are rather large to begin with, and I don't really want to manipulate an extremely large photo on line. So, as you've pointed out, will probably be a striped down version which won't have the usefulness of Photoshop. But, we'll wait and see. Maybe it is only for people who have machines with extremely fast broadband or something ... else the upload and download times would take forever on the large photos. I also use GIMP.

Perhaps it's personal bias, perhaps it's my extreme dislike of how Gimp lays out its windows. If the images you use on Kamigoroshi are all your Gimped creations, I must say that I admire your work. You're probably one of the leetest Gimp users in Malaysia! The main focus of my post here is to find out what my visitors think of the feasibility of an online photo editor in the league of Photoshop (and probably Gimp)... which I personally think is definitely not possible. Appreciate your feedback though :) No offence Edrei, but as much as I’m an Open Source advocate, I don’t think that Gimp is even in the same league as Photoshop.

In fact, I bring that along with me everywhere in my thumbdrive along with my Firefox and Gaim. It's my whole computer in a stick.
