Adobe devalues Photoshop brand by releasing feature-limited iPhoto-like application for Android and calling it Photoshop.
- pwmanagerdied 17y agoIf it makes any difference, they called it "Photoshop.com", this blog just dropped the tld.
- jrockway 17y agoFinally an application name sillier than "OpenOffice.org".
- pwmanagerdied 17y agoI don't know that I'd agree. Photoshop.com provides a subset of the features that Photoshop has, and the name's a derivative. It's sufficiently distinct that it shouldn't be confused with Photoshop, but still gets the brand bonus from being associated with it.
- jsz0 17y agoDisagree. No one expects to get all the desktop features on a mobile device. I've tried the iPhone version and it's definitely as good or better than its competition. That's a good thing for the brand. I think your point applies more directly to Photoshop Elements where a user could reasonably be confused about what feature set they are getting.
