Information Week: defining the business value of technology

Cameras are the new ‘it’ crave by people, and is only growing larger with the evolution of the camera within the past 2 decades. It is now possible to go buy a 100 dollar camera that has all the features a normal photographer would need, and now a storable memory and a video feature. Adobe will now be launching its beta project for online Photoshop. This will be very convenient for non photographers who want to edit or change photos, but will not have enough MB in order to even sufficiently hold one of their film rolls. However the best feature for people like me is the fact it is free to use with all the features I would ever need. Adobe is not the first internet photography program, but with its well known name it will be quick to be a top their industry.
The Photoshop is a wonderful idea to help reel in people who are currently not their consumer market. With the ability to alter family photos or take people out you do not want in, it is possible to be viewed as a photographer. Even though this Photoshop will be inefficient for real photographers, I feel as if soon there will be a place for them too. Soon enough anything we need done as a physical service will transition into an electric service instead like grocery shopping, ordering pizza, or photo shopping a picture.
I think that Adobe’s idea for an online site to edit pictures is a wise idea. They haven’t come out with anything really new in a while except for updated versions of Photoshop like Lightroom. For a long time, Photoshop was one of the only programs available that had such extensive options for editing pictures. Now that many companies are starting to catch up with their technology, they need to bring a little more to the table.
