Photoshop officially becomes a team project. Adobe announced the creation of live collaborative editing in Photoshop, which allows many people to work simultaneously on the same file on different computers. If you’re sick of waiting for a document back then that’s probably good news, but, if you’re only willing to share the final product, you might not want to let your boss know.
Adobe suggests a number of uses for live collaborative editing in Photoshop, such as collaborating with other designers, allowing clients to directly edit and annotate a document or have students follow a teacher’s lesson. To be fair, my design skills might be better if I had that option during my college Photoshop class.
The feature isn’t completely finished yet, and live collaborative editing is only available in beta testing at the moment – although the company offers a similar feature in Adobe Express. You can sign up to be part of the beta testing group here if you want to test it out for yourself. You can also look at competitors like Canva, which already offers real-time collaboration.
