How to use Photoshop on a Chromebook

New Here ,
Apr 02, 2020 Apr 02, 2020

Hello all, I am a teacher trying to teach my Photoshop class online now.  All of my students are having to install Photoshop on their home computers (thank you Adobe!) but I have one student with a Chromebook. She sent me a message and can't install it. I did a search and found Chromebooks can't install exe files.  It said you can use it online. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks

You do use Photoshop on a chromebook. Photoshop runs on Mac OS and Windows OS not on Chrome OS. There is a subset of Photoshop that runs on Apple IOS.

Several years ago there was a limited test of a version of Photoshop that would stream to a Chromebook. The test was made available to educational customers. But the test ended and it was never available again. That was probably the version you found that could be used online.

 

The current version of Photoshop for desktop and laptop computers runs on macOS and Windows only.
