Adobe Photoshop Is Coming To Linux, Through Chromebooks

sfcrazy writes Adobe is bringing the king of all photo editing software, Photoshop, to Linux-based Chrome OS. Chrome OS-powered devices, such as Chromebooks and Chromeboxes, already have a decent line-up of 'applications' that can work offline and eliminate the need of a traditional desktop computer. So far it sounds like great news. The bad news is that the offering is in its beta stage and is available only to the customers of the Creative Cloud Education program residing in the U.S. I have a full subscription of Creative Cloud for Photographers, and LightRoom, but even I can't join the program at the moment.

Isn't this streaming? by Anonymous Coward · 2014-09-30 02:51 · Score: 2, Informative

I only looked at it quickly yesterday, but it seems like they're just streaming it, a bit like how they stream games on platforms that don't support them. Not so hot to work offline, but if its just an added service to existing subscriptions, it can have some use.
