Adobe will be including support in this app for the pressure-sensitive jaja stylus. Procreate too.

iPen doesn't have pressure sensitivity yet but it does have a sharp tip.

I wouldn't buy the iPad version even for $9.99. It looks gimmicky. I have been spoilt with the desktop version for too long to go down the iPad app path.
You aren't going to get a huge amount of accuracy dragging a lasso with your finger
. Who uses the lasso for cutouts anyway?If they released it for Android, I would have definitely expected it on the ipad. I don't think I've ever met a photographer that used a Windows machine.
It's low. I wanted to say 21MP sounds painful on an ipad, but then I realized I dealt with that on a G4, so it'll probably be fine. I'm guessing this is locked ot 8 bpc imagery. I want 32 bit floating point standard damn it! Anyway Adobe will probably mention something about the limitations in their blogs. A couple of their engineers post semi regularly.
Bleh Aperture... yeah that's more capable
.Give it time. On a side note.... I want one of the new cintiqs.
MacRumors have always advertised Apps they think are important or they like. Advertising is not news or a rumour. But MacRumors think it's better then nothing on a slow rumours day.
And why would anyone release a supposedly major App now when thee are so many iPad 3 rumours in the air now. Sure Apple have said nothing, but having it day one no the iPad 3 would be good. Heck they could even get a few minutes on stage on the iPad 3 keynote if they were smart. That would be an awesome advertising opportunity. But Adobe are not that mart.
Adobe can do that because Photoshop is the coolest piece of bitmap-picture-manipulation-software on earth. I simply love Photoshop.
What "iPad 3"?
I don't see any official release date for this "iPad 3" you speak of?
Apple and Adobe are not exactly being friendly to each other at the moment so I doubt they have any more insight on the updated iPad release date then we do.
Given the usefulness of this product compared to the real Photoshop on a real computer the price difference of $590,00 is about right.
Agreed.
Do people think that you will be able to import image, most likely photos, larger than 1600x1600 and it will just down size them before you can start editing?
PowerPC-based Macintosh computer
Mac OS 7.6 or later
64 MB RAM

Guess what? These are requirements for the Photoshop 5.5.
Why would they not support the original iPad then ? Laziness and greed. Plain and simple.

how people tend to forget fast!
Do you realize that all the most complicated images in the 90's have been edited by PowerMacs sporting no more than 64 MB of Ram? And they were higher resolution than 1600*1200.

Adobe created an app for multiple mobile platforms. Did they use their Flash packager software to rapidly develop and deploy for Android and iPad? Or did they ignore Adobe Flash and create native apps for each platform?
The answer is clear: Adobe didn't use Adobe Flash for their own cross-platform apps. Does anyone wonder why not?

It's nice but it needs to launch for Android tablets
If I want to use my own pictures, do I have to buy their cloud service or go through iPhoto/Itunes to transfer them to the tablet? This is unpractical, and while I prefer iPads to Android tablets, if I had to do anything more than web surfing and application download, I would be using an android tablet.

Adobe Photoshop 5 was for Mac OS 7.5, there is no OS X version of it. But props to you if you still have it working
To be fair Photoshop 5.5 did have a hard drive to frequently cache to. They can't really do that on the iPad due to the limited write cycles of flash memory.

While a lot of people have something to bitch about with this upcoming... or current... release, what out signals is the better stuff to come. Adobe will probably begin to shuffle over many other Creative Suite programs in the next few years.
And why not? The iPad is becoming the home computer of the future. Their print-media programs like InDesign and Acrobat should have been on the iPad by now. With the processing power projected to be in the iPad by mid-decade, most people will be buying iPads and doing their work on them; larger computers will be for the slim market percentage which need such for their processor-hogging work or games.

You're absolutely correct. In the 1990s stuff like Barco Creator still existed for really big image files, and that ran on more powerful hardware. The history palette wasn't added until version 5. Adjustment layers came in version 4. The stuff that we count on today that pushes larger chunks of data around didn't exist at that time. I'm not the hugest fan of Adobe's development priorities, but if they're developing something today on a platform like the ipad, they have obvious software design decisions. In a couple product cycles, it may be much less limiting assuming continued growth from ARM.
I haven't bought an ipad yet. It isn't at a point where it can replace the functions of any device I currently own, and I don't want to purchase something that will collect dust just because I think it's a neat device. I will purchase one when it gets to a point where I can own it in place of a laptop. I'd much rather have a desktop with all of my displays and storage devices and a small tablet that doesn't require a stationary surface for use.
I actually don't understand why they went quite that low on ram with the device. Supposedly it has a very healthy margin, and they do use other expensive parts like the display. What prevented more ram? Obviously they're using high density chips, but they've never been that generous on ram. It could be to encourage upgrade frequency, but I'm not entirely certain.
AFAIK this option only appears for updates to apps, initial first launches of apps launch when they're approved.
It says it can open PSD's, wonder if it can it save in PSD as well. I'd love to be able to take a project with me on the go and mess around with it a bit. Trying new texts and colours.. see what works then finish off at home later.
This is probably a resource hog. Isn't easy to handle multi-layer picture files. That's why the iPad 1 probably isn't supported.

I guess back then, the apps weren't as complicated, an app like the latest Photoshop will use a lot of RAM in its-self, never mind actually editing the photos.
