rover, I don't know for certain but suspect that no shared host would allow this. There's the licensing issue, the stability issue (AFAIK these programs are designed to be operated interactively by users via the desktop, not via scripting calls) and there's the memory issue (how much memory does Photoshop take up?).

To manipulate images on the server you should use a server-side method.

For examples, e.g. if you want to resize your images, search WebmasterWorld for past threads on image resizing via php [google.com] or via asp [google.com].
