Adobe Introduces Photoshop Touch SDK and 3 iPad Apps for Photoshop

that would be cool if they integrated the iPad to let you use it as a wacom tablet kind of device specifically with Adobe applications on your desktop.
 
Anyone know what stand was being used in the video at 0:51 for the woman's MBP?

It looks like the base of an iMac G4 with a lucite top. Pretty nifty. :)

Although, as someone who is on the verge of getting a Cintiq 21UX, one of the attractions besides the size are the quick keys on the sides and back and the pressure sensitive pens, nibs and the ability to understand brush angles.

When it comes to illustration or any kind of fine work, fingers are nowhere near as precise as pen nibs. All that said, if they could create some kinds of viable convergence devise, I'd be all for it.
 
any screen huh?

For a company touting CS5.5 & Any Screen, they sure do have a crappy website on the iphone. Probably one of the worst I've seen.

Your Cintiq is going to mop the floor with an iPad art tool + stylus...I just wish the iPad panels had the same level of sensitive input, then stylus makers could make some finer point devices. Would be purty darn cool IMO:)
 
Close...but no.

Yeah I don't finger paint, boys.

Build me a stylus, a fingertip thimble-type pen tool or get in bed with Wacom.

Then while you're at it, sell your soul to Apple and let's see that 15" MacBook Pro/iPad10 hybrid with a brain and the muscle I need. Then we'll start getting all jazzed about what the team at Adobe is all atwitter about, mkay?
 
Err, what about Autodesk's Sketchbook Pro? It has been around for ages and does all of this probably miles better than Adobe will be able to do.
 
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. (For those commenting how these aren't painting programs or full photoshop on tablets you are REALLY missing the point.)

To the guy developing the similar app, get excited because you have FAR more tools at your disposal now given Adobe's new Photoshop API to help you get what you want done. Seems like there's plenty of space for cool ways control Photoshop. I'd get in there lickety-split, though. Get an App out that is marginally more useful than the Adobe one and then build on it based on user feedback. Go go go!

As for pricing, the "rental" thing is a fine alternative (the buy option is not going away). There have been times where it could have helped me out. I don't use that many Adobe programs and don't need most of the newer features, but if I can use a couple of the newer features for a month for a price like offered I can see it useful. It's always going to be more cost effective to buy it outright IF you will be using it consistently and will be using all the apps in a suite, for instance.

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.
 
How can anyone rate this negative... sheesh?

This is cool stuff, comments like "Ugh me finger paint", shut up.

You clearly don't get it, you did not watch the video. The iPad is not an end user, end of the line production quality device (someday) it's a spring board to begin the creative process with or a tool to enhance your workflow. We only just got our second generation iPad, this platform, the tech and the interface are all evolving. I see this and I get excited about the incredible potential these devices have.
 
Nothing spectacular, infact probably useless for the most of us, this is coming from a web designer, I don't see how anyone can get serious work done using a finger, sure maybe some rough work, but I don't think this will be particularly useful for Graphic or Web design..

Anyway I'm not saying its not cool, I just don't know a situation where I'll be needing that application or even an ipad at this stage..

Maybe in the near future a lot o fit will change, but limited to working at 9.7" display is not easy, not to mention that low resolution..
 
Thank you. People always fire back with the "Get a pen" but it's nothing like a wacom tablet.

Partially, but not fully.

I have an iPad and a Boxwave Stylus. It's fun, but when compared to my Cintiq 12wx, it's nothing more than a toy. The iPad's tracking is sub-par, it lacks pressure-sensitivity, it doesn't support stylus tilt, let alone stylus barrel rotation.

But here's looking forward to a future where I can carry around just a tablet, and it does everything my MBPro 17" and Cintiq do -- which require huge backpack if I want to lug around both.
