'Photoshop Remote' Video Shows More SDK Possibilites

Two weeks ago I posted how much PS could benefit from tablet devices. Nice that Adobe listened to me and acted so promptly

Impossible. This isn't supposed to happen.

The iPad isn't a serious computer.

The iPad is only a consumption device.

1.) This certainly shows potential.
2.) I took a human development class in college from that guy's mom. Small world.

The Photoshop Remote app shows how you can access all active Photoshop installations on your network. The images on the iPad reflect in close-to-realtime the changes made on the running copies of Photoshop on the local network. Images can also be manipulated on the iPad itself.

Can Adobe do all of CS? How about any computer and app?

Now, Management can make sure the workers are doing their work...

Adobe is really the big brother in Apple's 1984.

Back when the iPad was first released I imagined it being used as an extension to desktop apps in a more meaningful way than has been done up until now. Adobe creating a Photoshop specifically for this type of interaction is awesome and something I expected from Apple in a more widely available fashion. Adobe beat Apple to the punch here.

Adobe seems awakened from a little slumber since Apple outright attacked Adobe's handling of Flash and slow uptake on the mobile space. Adobe is gaining my respect in its reaction. Let's see Flash transition 100% to a creation tool for multimedia via the tech formerly known as HTML 5. That will be something. Going to be rough going as the standards settle, however.

Overall, very cool progress on Adobe's part and I'm no Adobe apologist.

My thoughts exactly. Kudos to how Adobe has taken it on the chin. They are responding in the best way possible.

Pardon my ignorance, but is the iPad just an external monitor for PS? Aside from rotating a photo rolleyes I'm struggling to see where they are going with this

Edit to add... my bad, just saw the news article from earlier. Prob should have scrolled down.

I was pretty sure APPLE is the big brother in Apple's 1984. Sadly, Jobs is starting to look at LOT like the guy on the screen as well.

Yeah, well they kinda buried the lead! I think a better app would just be mac remote. Or do they have that already? To just mirror the mac and control it remotely.

Providing a 3rd screen where you can draw directly on the image is also cool. Like those expensive Wacoms that do that.

Management system, not a MONITORING one...

Hopefully we get to see what Apple has to offer this weeks's NAB. Maybe FCP Remote?

I love Apple products, but without a doubt, Apple is the one who usually throws its weight around, restricts content, etc.

Brilliant.
Bravo Adobe....never thought I'd say that
Up till now i have not found a compelling reason to own an iPad but if it can access my main computer files and allow some even minor manipulating, now we are cooking with gas!
I want to be able to read a text doc (say a recipe in my kitchen) or view a graphics file without walking into my home office.
When I can do that then sign me up.

I don't need a redundant display. I'd rather have tool selection, color picker, swatches, etc.

Not sure how this is a 'Head Up Display'.... surely more 'Head Down Display'??
