Saw this coming with the recent PhotoBucket announcement:
Hoping to get a jump on Google and other competitors, Adobe Systems plans to release a hosted version of its popular Photoshop image-editing application within six months, the company's chief executive said Tuesday.
I don't imagine hosted applications have much impact on the larger printing industry, or do they?
PS - Google blogged today about their latest killer Google Maps feature: A traffic layer!

A lot of people who run apps on the Internet that do pretty much the same thing as Photoshop, such as Paint.NET etc. Adobe is pretty much realizing where the leakings of revenue are pouring out from. It's ad powered so that's understandable. If they can pull this off with Adobe Photoshop's features still intact, then no more competitors will exist--for the time being. All the programs that are out there right now were for the people who didn't want to pay $800 for a piece of software that's just for photos. Other online competitors have to actually think of some new features, rather than just port everything over from the original software over somewhere were everyone can use.
