Adobe Photoshop Updated With Touch Bar Support

[thekev]

There are dozens of ignored feature requests that are years old in Adobe's forums.

Metal was released almost 2 years ago and still no signs of coming to Photoshop or Illustrator.

But here we have support for a gimmick that only a very small percentage of mac users will be able to use.

Adobe has its priorities straight.

What could they possibly get out of moving to Metal? Their OpenGL drawing can be a little wacky at times. OpenCL seems to work well enough for computation. It's also a cross platform application. Otherwise it might make more sense to just whatever direction Apple goes.

I am apparently too stupid to get this to work. Just updated and am not seeing anything in the touchbar.

Apple, mission accomplished!

was adobe's fault. CC told me it updated, but build number was wrong. Restarted CC and it figured it out and downloaded again.

Are you joking? Of course they're going to support the touch bar. Why wouldn't they? They would look like an amateur company if they didn't.

How is it relevant that there's dozens of feature requests? There always going to some feature that some person somewhere wants. They can't do everything.

Adobe blame someone else....they aren't owned by Apple are they?

How is touch bar in any way better than just using existing shortcut keys?

It's a completely different interface than a keyboard. It's an interactive touch screen. You can't actually be asking this... I hope you're just being difficult on purpose.

I didn't ask how is it different, I asked how is it better. Read the post before criticising it.

You missed my point which is that Adobe isn't giving priority to what their users need / want.

Pixelmator has my heart now. Bye Felicia..I mean Adobe

Pixelmator is great. I really do like it. But the HUD UI is absolutely ****ing obnoxious. Having to constantly micromanage shapes, styles, layers, brushes, effects, tools, etc is a pain in the ass. It's significantly worse when using two monitors, because all of those windows open on the monitor I last used Pixelmator on. Meaning that if I used Pixelmator last on monitor A, all of the windows will be on monitor A. But I don't want to use monitor A since I have currently have something on monitor A. So I open Pixelmator on monitor B. So I have to manually drag like 8 windows over to monitor B, and then position them so they don't obscure my document, which can be difficult on a small 13" rMBP screen.
