Those are iPad specific. We're talking about Adobe releasing Photoshop on the iPad here.This is great news, but, can we at least get:
Yes Apple, i’m looking at you.
- Decent file system
- A version of Safari that can open in desktop view and handle desktop like environments i.e. managing a squarespace website
- Opening multiple emails side by side
But I won't be able to pirate it![]()
I think this speaks to how far the A-series chip has come. It really is starting to rival desktop in terms of raw power.
Also an Affinity user, entirely on the iPad Pro. I’ve been quite impressed with the capability—though I could see how a pro that shoots in thousands of photos would not want to use it just yet. It will probably require Apple opening up the file system more, but performance certainly doesn’t seem that far off from LR on my iMac.Or at least, Affinity Photo showed what could be done on an iPad. I see no reason to move away from that (FAR more affordable and great for my needs, and still has great cross platform compatibility with my Mac). But it's great to see Adobe finally recognizing there should be a fully functional version for the iPad- after even the cheap iPad has Pencil support and is much more powerful than professional grade desktops were with Photoshop a few years ago.
Well, they share the same codebase, so... yes.Will the iPad version be as slow and bloated as the desktop version?
I have a feeling this will "coincide" with the announcement of the new iPad Pros, with Apple allowing Adobe on the keynote to demo the software.

Opening multiple emails side by side you already can...i have my mail app in one side and the gmail on the otherThis is great news, but, can we at least get:

No, but for a small fee...But I won't be able to pirate it![]()
Yeah, i’ve Moved to Affinity as well. It’s an amazing app, and I much prefer it than to any subscription based model. But this is still great news for iPad owners. To all those who still say the iPad is and never will be a laptop replacement...um...I think it’s time to admit you’re wrong.
Makes the possibility of Apple-made SOCs powering future MacOS products all the more conceivable.
The java bits will be missing, thoughWell, they share the same codebase, so... yes.
Wrong because Adobe releases a PS version in 2019? lol. Just because apple is crippling their Mac line doesn't mean tablets hardware are even close to desktop/laptop OS potential/hardware raw power.
iPad is still a media consumption device to which they are trying to add productivity which has always existed in desktops/laptops already. Apple can say what they want, obviously improved a lot since they love it more than the Mac line from a business perspective, and will always try to push it as desktop replacement but any professional with 2 fingers on the forehead can realize is just marketing bluff.
Without a keyboard/pencil half of the productivity is just not there.
A tablet with an external keyboard/pencil on a limited OS is likely closer to try to "simulate" a professional computer than to "replace" it. They can surely reduce the gap but some things will still be much better on desktop/laptops (better thermals, input compatibility, hardware raw power, display capabilities & a real OS -less glue-, etc) Yea sure.. tablets are lighter to carry than laptops..although not for much these days.
I think we are at the point where iOS itself is holding the iPad back. You have a desktop class cpu with desktop class software such as the Affinity line. Now we a need a desktop caliber operating system.
I am very impressed with their apps, but I don't use them enough to have built up a memory of all the gestures, and they're not all very discoverable.Although keyboard is definitely easier have you seen the gesture controls in Affinity. Quite impressive.
