But what’s in this for Adobe?
The tolerance part of that may or may not be true, but the effect certainly was.
And by making Photoshop available to anyone for free, Adobe is sowing seeds among future professionals.

It’s a win-win,“Michael Ayjian, co-founder of 7 Wonders Cinema, told Lifewire via email.
Photo Competition
The other part of this is that Adobe is facing more competition than ever.
Canva is an easy-to-use phone and iPad app thathad 75 million monthly usersat the end of last year.
The basic version, with 5GB of cloud storage, costs nothing.
Pro and enterprise subscriptions start at $10 per month for a yearly plan with added storage and features.
But the biggest features of Canva are its ease of use and its fame.
If you start searching for an app to design something, you’ll come across Canva pretty fast.
And with millions of people opting for Canva, where does that leave Photoshop?
Adobe
Adobe Photoshop is still the most famous photo editing app.
We even use its name as a verb, as in, “Those abs aresoPhotoshopped.”
By making Photoshop an easy-to-access web app, maybe Adobe is trying to regain lost ground at the entry-level?
In the end, not much has really changed.
For image-editing professionals, it’s easier just to pay the Adobe subscription and forget about it.
And Adobe’s challenge is to keep attracting new, young users in the future.
