Adobe Photoshop For Chromebook/Chrome OS


Like other Chrome OS apps Photoshop runs entirely from the cloud. Photoshop for Chrome is fully integrated with Google Drive. Though this beta release only includes Photoshop, Adobe states that other products are coming soon. Per usual, Adobe encourages participants in the beta program to leave feedback. Find out if you're eligible for the program and submit an application at Adobe's Education Exchange website.

Chromebooks are fast, easy to use and secure. They bring the best of the cloud right to your desktop, whether that’s Google Drive, Google+ Photos or Gmail. Today, in partnership with Adobe, we’re welcoming Creative Cloud onto Chromebooks, initially with a streaming version of Photoshop. This will be available first to U.S.-based Adobe education customers with a paid Creative Cloud membership—so the Photoshop you know and love is now on Chrome OS. No muss, no fuss.

This streaming version of Photoshop is designed to run straight from the cloud to your Chromebook. It’s always up-to-date and fully integrated with Google Drive, so there’s no need to download and re-upload files—just save your art directly from Photoshop to the cloud. For IT administrators, it’s easy to manage, with no long client installation and one-click deployment to your team’s Chromebooks.




Potentially patching a big hole in Chrome OS, Adobe Systems and Google on Monday announced Project Photoshop Streaming, a version of the photo-editing software that works on either the browser-based operating system or the Windows version of Google's browser.
Chrome OS is based on Google's Chrome browser, so it's only able to run Web apps. Because of that, software like Apple's iTunes, Microsoft's standard version of Office, and many games won't work on Chrome OS. That software instead runs as native software that taps directly into an operating system like Microsoft's Windows or Apple's OS X, and it's been a shortcoming of Google's browser-centric view of desktop computing.
Until now, Adobe's flagship program, Photoshop, has been native-only as well -- despite the cloud-centric name of the Creative Cloud subscription program through which Adobe now sells creative folks its tools like Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects. But with the streaming version of Photoshop, which runs on a remote server connected over the Web, users of computers running Chrome OS can get it, too.

Toward a new computing foundation

Ultimately, the Web shift could reshape how we use computers. Web-centric computing makes it easier for people to shift from one computer to another, or from one operating system to another, while online storage services like Dropbox or Google Drive ensure data is available from any device. Web computing means programmers can reach multiple operating systems more easily -- though today's programming tools for Web apps aren't as mature as those for native software. It's even possible Web computing could help programmers spread their software to phones andtablets, too, though that poses more user-interface challenges.
With online tools like Google Apps and a browser-based version of Microsoft Office, Adobe isn't alone in moving toward browser-based computing.
For now, though, the streaming version of Photoshop is just an "experiment" limited just to Creative Cloud members who are at educational institutions in North America. Since it's running on a remote server, not directly on the Chrome OS or Windows machine in front of the user, it needs a reasonably high-speed network with 5 megabit-per-second data capacity and a communication lag of no more than 250 milliseconds.
Here's how Trevor Bailey, senior director of Adobe's worldwide education work, described the project:
This streaming version of Photoshop is an exploration that offers unique additional value: it provides hardware independence with performance comparable to that of a locally installed application. Education IT departments will also benefit since updates become available as soon as they're ready, and don't have to be deployed across multiple machines. Users benefit from a fully cloud-based workflow, where changes can be made to documents directly in the cloud, removing the need to download large files locally, then upload once the changes are complete.

Adobe's technology shifts

Adobe's Creative Cloud subscription, which costs $50 per month for a one-year commitment, has been a mixed bag for Adobe since its introduction in 2012. Although 2.8 million customers so far have signed up for the top-end subscription or for cheaper $10 monthly plans just for Photoshop and Lightroom, plenty of other customers were angry when Adobe said new versions of its software will be available only through subscriptions. In contrast, with the earlier Creative Suite sales of perpetual licenses, customers paid more up front, but their software didn't stop working if they stopped paying.
Adobe has been getting more network-centric recently. Its Creative SDK is designed to give mobile apps a boost from Adobe servers for some processor-intensive tasks, and its Aviary acquisition signals a move toward online photo editing. More details about this general approach will emerge next week at the company's annual Max conference.
Adobe also got years of experience with online tools through its Flash Player browser plugin, a technology that's gradually fading from the Web. Adobe is now concentrating its interest on Web standards that accomplish much the same thing as Flash.

Performance unclear

It's not yet clear how well a browser-based version of Photoshop will perform compared to one running installed locally on a person's computer. One thing is different for now: it can't use Photoshop features accelerated by a computer's graphics chip, though Adobe expects to fix that soon. Adobe also cautioned in an FAQ that "input devices such as scanners, audio, and printing is not currently supported."
Browser-based apps have caught on widely for personal computers, but it's another story on mobile -- an area where Adobe hasn't yet established the influence it has for PCs.
On mobile devices running operating systems like Apple's iOS and Google's Android, native apps are far more common, on particular for demanding apps like games that need maximum responsiveness. The Web is important on mobile, but not as much so as on PCs, where people spend hours using browsers to reach sites for Facebook, banking, email and other tasks.
Project Photoshop Streaming is tied in with Google's online services, said Stephen Konig, a Google Chrome product manager, in a blog post Monday.
"It's always up-to-date and fully integrated with Google Drive, so there's no need to download and re-upload files -- just save your art directly from Photoshop to the cloud," Konig said.
It's not yet clear what technology the streaming version of Photoshop uses. Products from companies like Citrix let companies share software running on, say, a Windows machine at the corporate offices be reached via a browser. And Google has its own "Chromoting" software that lets a Chrome or Chrome OS computer remotely operate a Windows or Mac machine.

Chrome OS 35 Beta Brings App Folders, New Window Controls and Ok Google

he latest update to the Google Chrome OS Beta channel, version 35, brings App Launcher folders to the desktop by default.
Not that the feature is earth-shatteringly new or unexpected, of course. Support for creating and arranging applications into custom directories has been loitering around in the development channel and flag pages for a while now. But it’s only in this latest update that the feature has been turned on by default for beta users.
app list folders
App Launcher Folders on Chrome OS – Now in Beta
Creating folders is as straightforward as you’d hope: click-drag an application icon on top of another and a folder housing both is automatically created. More apps can be dragged and dropped into it.
Removing an item is also easy: click on the folder housing the app, find the item you want to remove and ‘tear’ it out of, and away from, the launcher. The folder will (replete with slick animation) exit to the main grid where you can then place the item.
Aura builds of Chrome on Windows and Linux are to gain support for folder creation/management in their respective app launchers in the near future, including syncing of contents, names and preferences. It’s not yet clear how, or if, the feature will be handled on Mac OS X. 

Window controls

Organisational offerings to one side, this beta reintroduces the much-missed ‘minimise’ window control button to application frames. The various decisions given to justify its removal never quite felt right, so seeing it put back shows that Google developers do listen to what users want.
In addition, to ‘snap’ a window the edge of your screen just long-press the ‘maximise’ button and click on (or pull towards) the left and right arrows that appear.
new-snap
Elsewhere, Ok Google hot word detection has been reenabled in the App Launcher; while pesky captive portals – those annoying sign-in pop-ups that appear when connecting to WiFi networks in cafes, hotels, train stations, and the like – are now properly detected by Chrome OS, helping you get online quicker.
While you can’t see them, there are also the usual slew of under-the-hood bug fixes, security updates and performance improvements to benefit from.
Google Chrome 35 Beta is being pushed out to all Chrome devices, including the Samsung Series 3 and HP 11 Chromebooks, from today.

How To Stop Chromebook From Grouping Windows Per Application

App Grouping on Chrome OS

Similar to what Windows does on your PC, Chrome OS also groups tabs from same application on the taskbar. For example, if I open Gmail, and then Google Tasks (which is usually inside Gmail, but I prefer it as  a separate window) I will have to click the Gmail icon on the taskbar, and choose Gtasks  from the list.
But there is a way to stop this. It is a flag available at chrome://flags. Look for Disable per application sorting in the launcher. It is little confusing when you read the name of the flag and the description (Disable the per application sorting mode of the launcher.) Because you are enabling a flag that disables a feature.
Well, go ahead and enable the flag, restart your Chromebook, and try opening a few windows from the same application. It should be listed as separate items on your taskbar.

7 Things That You Can Do To Make Your Chromebook Secure...

Here is a list of 7 things you can do right now to make your Chromebook secure.
chromebook  7 Things That You Can Do Right Now To Make Your Chromebook Secure

1. Enable phishing and malware protection

This is enabled by default. However, I suggest that you double check this and make sure that you are protected against phishing and malware. Go to settings and start typing “enable phishing and malware…” and you will see this option.

2. Send a ‘Do Not Track’ request with your browsing traffic

For the privacy conscious, this is a good option to enable. By enabling this feature, you will send a request to all websites you visit, not to track you. This is just a request, but there are many websites that honor this request.

3. Enable “Require Password to Wake from Sleep”

Chromebooks sleeps when you close the lid, right? It wakes up pretty fast when you open the lid again. It wakes up in a second or less. Good. But, I prefer loosing couple of seconds there for the sake of extra security. I have enabled “Require password to wake from sleep”.
When this is enabled, my password is required to unlock the Chromebook when I open the lid again or you come back to the Chromebok after leaving it idle for a while. Good. I don’ want anyone else playing with my Chromebook when I have logged in and have my stuff open.
To enable this feature, go to settings and type wake in the search box. You’ll see it.

4. Restrict Sign-in Of New Users

Chromebooks are “sharing friendly”. But it is “too sharing friendly” from me. Anyone can add their Google ID from the login screen and start using the Chromebook.
Isn’t that too much?
I think so. I disable this by restricting new users. Search “restrict” and you will see “Manager users’ click that to see this option “restrict sign-in to following users”. Once this is enabled, only users you manually add from this page will be able to login to your Chromebok.

5. Install Collusion for Chrome

I will let you read the official description for the extension.
Thousands of companies and organizations secretly collect your personal data when you use the web, creating a shadow web of connections between sites you go to and trackers you probably never heard of. Collusion for Chrome graphs the spread of your data from sites to trackers, in real time, to expose and, optionally, to break these hidden connections.
Install this extension from here.

6. Do Not Install Extensions from Outside Chrome Web Store.

I try not to link to any website other than the Chrome Web Store for installing extensions, apps and themes. It is not always safe to download and install extensions from external websites.

7. Review Extensions You Installed

Got lots of extensions installed on your Chromebook? Go ahead and do a security audit. You can review permissions provided to each extension. If you find something fishy, uninstall them. It is always good to do a clean-up and get rid of things you no longer need.

What to do When Your Chromebook is Offline..?

Chromebooks are designed for a connected world. But what happens when you are offline? Is your Chromebook still useful?


It sure is useful to some extend. But if you are prepared enough, going offline on a Chromebook can be a much better experience. Read on to find out how to prepare to go offline with your Chromebook.

Does Chromebook Work Offline?

It sure does. You can login and move around without any issues. You can browse and use your locally stored files too. You can remain productive even without internet connection. You can view and edit documents, play songs and watch movies, or edit pictures!
In the perfect world that Chrome OS imagines, you should be saving your files on the cloud. However, it won’t hurt storing some PDFs for reading, and some Music or Movies on the SSD card of your Chromebook. All (except an Acer model) Chromebooks use 16 GB SSDs for storage. You will get over 10GB for storing your files. You can use SD cards as well for additional storage.

And then there is a lot more that you can be prepared for. There are apps that work offline, and there is document editing, and there are even games that you can play on a Chromebook even when you are offline. We will look at each of them in detail.
