Three days ago there was some news about an online version of Adobe Photoshop. Today I read on a German news site that they will probably use Flex. I am so excited about that news and I am looking forward to try their product. Of course I have a special interest in this because I developed my own library and now the big boys do it.
It will also be very interesting to see what they will do about some issues. If you want to edit a picture (like 6megapixel picture) it will be a big fight against stuff like the maximum execution time. Probably they will use an approach to filter an image over more than one frame. So it would be possible – just like Photoshop does – to see a progress of that thing. But even in that case such a filter would take you at least half a minute of waiting to complete. Maybe they will start working on some performance issues of the Flash player as well..?!
Anyways I can’t wait to see this in action!
Update: I am quiet sure that we will see two techniques here. One will definitly be connected to Event.ENTER_FRAME for extensive x,y-loops and a lot of getPixel()/setPixel() calls. The second method is also connected to Event.ENTER_FRAME and goes rectangle by rectangle for stuff like paletteMap(). Just speculations. We will see more in six months.
