The first thought that comes to mind upon reading this thread is... why?
Photoshop runs faster as a desktop application than it ever could through a web browser. What about memory resources? Modern web browsers are memory hogs. Running Photoshop as a desktop application ties up a ridiculous amount of memory to begin with. Google Chrome is already a memory hog. To run such a resource-intensive application such as Photoshop on top of a web browser like Chrome sounds absolutely ridiculous. It's like strapping a camel onto the back of a donkey. I assume that Photoshop's scratch disks reside in the cloud. If Adobe uses something like SDD drives w/ data transfer speeds as fast as 3000 MB/s over a 300 Gbps network, that may be sufficient for most scenarios, but what if you want to run Photoshop batch actions for a couple thousand 100 MB bitmaps? Even with such fast data transfer speeds, it sounds ridiculous. Think of the load that it puts on the processing speed of the client machine. Would you even be able to run the aforementioned Photoshop batch actions without bringing the system's processing speed down to a crawl? I don't know. Maybe, but it sounds ridiculous. I wouldn't be surprised if it crashed Notepad under such demands. Maybe it's something you could do, but as I said before, why? I forget what the data transfer speeds are for my home network, but I'd imagine that's where the bottleneck would occur. Even if it were practical in terms of data speed and processing power, what about the shortcomings of the web browser itself? What a nightmare. HTML5 may provide a plethora of tools to work with and most of the standards for major web browsers are fairly consistent, but what kind of nutcases embark upon such a terror-inducing journey of digital torture? I know that if I were a front-end developer at Adobe, and was assigned to this project, I'd immediately leap out of my chair, sprint toward the nearest window, and smash right through it in a desperate attempt to escape. Then I'd run as fast as I could until reaching the nearest road and jump in front of a speeding bus.
