Known for its software applications, Adobe is testing giving users a chance to use Photoshop for free for their web version. While these are still early days, the move may help many creative people who are regular users of the service to experiment with it as they also aim to attract new users. 

According to The Verge, the company is now testing the free version in Canada, where users can access Photoshop on the web through a free Adobe account.

The software major has described the service as "freemium" and eventually plans to gate off some features that will be exclusive to paying subscribers. Enough tools will be freely available to perform what Adobe considers to be Photoshop's core functions.
