Cool app. What I don't get is why hasn't Adobe done this already w/ Photoshop? A online version that is subscription based. The industry is slowly moving towards that direction, maybe they will follow.

I have been using Photoshop.com for a while now and this app is much much more stable. It's also about 10x faster, I'm impressed. It's just like Adobe to build a bloated application. I have a copy of CS3 installed locally but I often just want to do a quick edit and was using the online PS version (I've tried aviary too) and I wasn't very happy with the other options. If you want to compare try uploading a file in bo…

Ah. I wasn't aware of Photoshop.com.

I don't get what's unique about this. splashup.com and picnik have similar services.

Sometimes it's more about execution than product inventory.

If you go to http://pixlr.com/app, you immediately get a Photoshop interface.

If you go to http://www.picnik.com/app, you get to wait for a minute while the app 'fluffs clouds' and then you get a screen full of buttons and text ... when do I get to edit my photo again?

I had never heard of splashup.com. Their app execution seems good compared to picnik, comparable to pixlr. Perhaps marketing failed?
