Adobe launched Photoshop Album Starter in 2003, which allows users to use this software for free bare-metal catalogs and graphic editing. Today, the company decided to terminate the release and stopped supporting the software on June 30.

Today Adobe is offering an online service feature as a replacement for Photoshop Album starter.

"As one of the promises to provide free photo-editing solutions to users, we created Photoshop.com, an exciting online service that allows users to upload, manage, edit, store (2GB capacity) and share photos," Adobe wrote in a company record. The records also include steps for exporting and uploading photos from Photoshop Album starter to the Web site.

The move shows that web-based applications are becoming more and more important, and even software giants like Adobe cannot ignore them. Network applications, even if the application of more sophisticated technology such as Adobe Flash, compared with the usual software running on the computer is too simple, but it has an advantage in sharing and maintenance, while different computers and mobile devices can be remote access. The Web as a foundation for online applications is becoming more complex.
