Adobe has announced the launch of a new feature in Photoshop that will allow multiple users to work on the same file simultaneously from different computers.

Here's What We Know

This new feature, which is currently in beta testing, will make collaboration much easier for designers, teams, and even clients who can edit and comment on files in real time.

For those who are tired of waiting for a colleague to send a document back, this feature will be a real lifesaver. Now you can work on a project together and not wait for the next changes.

Adobe envisions numerous uses for the new collaborative editing feature, including collaboration between designers, working with clients who can comment and edit documents directly, and for educational purposes - students can follow the design process with their teacher. This feature can significantly improve the learning process and help students better understand complex design issues.

Although the feature is not yet fully implemented and is currently only available in beta, Adobe already offers similar capabilities in its Adobe Express product, where users can work on documents in real time. If you want to test this new feature in Photoshop, you can sign up for the beta test via the official Adobe website.

It's worth noting that this feature isn't new to the market, as competitors like Canva have been offering real-time document collaboration for a while now.

Adobe promises that this feature will become even more powerful over time, and beta testing will identify any shortcomings and improve the user experience before the final launch.
