Have you ever considered getting into digital imaging? Or even just correcting your digital pictures simply and easily? Well you may have heard of Adobe Photoshop. This digital imaging program is the best around. It doesn't even come close to other picture editing software, especially in price. Unless you have $600 to splurge on this program or you just use Adobe's 30-day Photoshop trial, you may not be able to obtain the program. But now, you just may be in luck.

On Thursday, Adobe has announced that it will release a free online version of Adobe Photoshop, the most popular image editing program around. Although it is not available yet, it is scheduled for release within a 6-month period.

Of course, this free version will not have every single feature the $600 Adobe Photoshop CS2 has, it will be able to perform more than just the basics in photo editing, just as professionals do.

The reason why Adobe has introduced this new is because the company wants to widen its software portfolio, including audio, video, and more graphics programs. Being able to draw more advertising dollars and more users will help promote the company even more. Adobe hopes that it will be able to sell more products online, as opposed to just packaged in-store software.

So the main question on everyone's mind is: how can I get my hands on this free software? Well, while you will have to wait up to 6 months, the product will be available at www.adobe.com. Now while the company is still perfecting the free program, Adobe still suggests that users try out free 30-day trials of what they already have to offer.

These 30-day trials range from Adobe Photoshop to Adobe Acrobat to Adobe Flash Player. It should be noted that these 30-day trials are not stripped down versions. In fact, these trials are fully loaded with every single great feature. While the trial with expire, users will have the opportunity to buy the program once it does so. The product can be purchased online or even over the phone by credit card.

  • Adobe is coming out with a free version of Adobe Photoshop.
