Is it possible to use adobe/photoshop through cloud computing?



[explainingcomputers]

There is a great cloud Photoshop clone called Pixlr -- it includes layers, a history brush and more. Google "Pixlr" or checkout my "Top Free Cloud Applications" video here for more.

So can I create some massive installation/server thing and have people pay me to use part of it?

[explainingcomputers]

Yes, that's the basis of the idea! Or you can rent server space from a big supplier (eg like Amazon Web Services) and sell it on to others -- and there are plenty of firms doing that.

Can cloud computing be green computing??????????

[explainingcomputers]

Yes indeed it can -- as low-power PCs can be used to access cloud processing power and applications. And the servers in cloud data centres can run at optimal capacity. See my video called "The Three Reasons to Cloud Compute" for more -- or the "cloud" section on my explainingcomputers website.
