I’m pretty obsessed with cloud-based (that is, web-based) software services. We’re slowly heading to a future where our machines will be powerful web browsers and all our software will be hosted elsewhere (and accessible anywhere). I’m looking forward to it.

Adobe has long been working on an online version of its industry-leading Photoshop photo imaging software. Some may be familiar with the Photoshop Express Beta. Well, now there’s simply Photoshop.com.

Here you can upload and store your photos, edit them much like you can do with the desktop version (though with a much simpler and reduced toolset) and then share them with others. It’s a cool concept, though not that much different than the Flickr–Picnik combo some are using to do the same thing. With Photoshop.com, it’s all in one location.

It’s free to check out–and the site’s pretty slick. If you have an Adobe ID already, it’s a one-click process to join. Otherwise you’ll have to sign up for one. Photo storage will cost you-$19 for basic up to $99 annually for 100GB. For some with basic photo needs, this is exactly what they’ve been waiting for.
