Apparently you are not aware of how many light years ahead of the competition this is.
The only fail is your pathetic attempt to try and crap on another Apple thread with some meaningless argument.
People use Photoshop on numerous devices. Laptops, desktops or full-blown workstations with keyboard/mouse, Wacom tablets or even Cintiq. It depends on their workflow/preference.
Having an iPad gives users yet another tool they can use. The point being (to repeat myself again) is users have a choice of what device they want to use. Except, of course, if they use Android tablets.
I've moved on from Adobe. They took tooooo long to move to the iPad. However, I will give it a try when they release it.
so build on decade old code? Wouldn't it be better to start from fresh and make the app super fast with Metal 2 etc.? Something like Pixelmator did?
This sounds like it will be bloated for no reason and yet most features will be missing for ages. I'm confused about the point of all this.

So now it's next year? They were talking almost a year ago that it was coming this year. This, more than anything points to no iPad Pro announcement until sometime next year.
Get affinity photo instead. One time price and it’s even better is some ways than photoshop for desktop.
I'm hoping that too but considering they added some added that stupid always a window now to their creative cloud desktop app and it's super bright even if you're in dark mode, I'm not holding my breath. I'm also not holding my breath that the app will be functional even for basic photo editing. Haha.
I'm fine with it being in the subscription plans as long as it doesn't add cost to plan I already have.
It's a bit disappointing, but that's just my opinion. It's better than nothing. If Adobe released a full version of Adobe Photoshop, XD, and illustrator, then I'd switch to an iPad Pro in a heartbeat. The longer battery life, better pen input is very attractive, but what we are seeing here isn't enough for my use case.
I remember a time when that wasn’t a good sign, but maybe I’m out of touch with modern software development methodology.
Now you’re resorting to straight up lies? We had this discussion before (when I asked you to list the Top 10 Android Apps for photo/video). You know very well that’s a dumbed down “lite” version that has nothing in common with Photoshop except the name. Yet you still decided to lie about it. Again.
Depending on what the extent of that means, this sounds like a real missed opportunity to start from scratch with what has becomes the most bloated, bug filled, POS software I ever spent 2 decades watching fall into decline through overstuffing of half-baked useless features. If anything has ever needed a bug fix year it’s Photoshop but no, new tent pole features like changing the keyboard shortcuts that already don’t match half of other CC products into new ones that also don’t match breaking years of muscle memory for some user hostile reason and not fixing the inescapable text box bug which has lingered for years are way higher up on the agenda.
I’m annoyed because I care Adobe. You used to be a somebody.
also, slightly surprised this STILL hasn’t launched. Wasn’t this announced a year ago now?
Read the article. iPad isn't getting full Photoshop either.
I have no problem with subscription based software. I have a huge problem with how Adobe are doing it.
Just curious how so? Adobe seems to be operating how most subscription software does with limiting number of concurrent users, number of system on which products are installed, etc.
Nope, As a long-time professional, I have never heard any company that I worked that uses Affinity. It's a great product but not used by the industry much.

I have a Wacom. I love it but...the idea of using the iPad Pro + Pencil + Mac is pretty enticing. This could be an amazing tool.

High-end apps like these making their way to iPad will drive the final nail into the coffin of traditional desktops and laptops. iPad Pro truly is the future of computing.
My problem with how they're doing it is instead of working on making the core apps in the suite be the best they can be they're adding a bunch of bloat to the creative suite. Apps no one wants or asks for. AND cloud and team features no one wants. They keep wanting to raise prices because of that stuff.
I wish they went back to people being able to buy their software.
This subscription based stuff with endless monthly fees is very tiresome.

Yet another reason to jump to Affinity
It's a shame we can't get full sketch app on the iPad. Would be a dream come true for me as a UI/UX designer/
Yeah no thanks Adobe, I'll stick with Affinity photo and Designer thanks. One off payment, free updates, great support, it will only get better the more people support this great software
I just can't see a total p/shop experience ported from desktop/laptop to an iPad working.
