Has anyone tried the new Photoshop iPad apps that Adobe just released? I’d love to see how you’re using these apps on web design projects with SiteGrinder.
There are three new iPad apps:
Adobe Color Lava is a color mixing app that lets you swirl and mix colors with your fingers. You can create a palette of five swatches that are available to select in Photoshop.
Adobe says:
With Adobe Color Lava, you can use your fingertips to mix colors on your iPad and create custom swatches and five-swatch themes. Instantly access them in Photoshop CS5—all you need is a network connection between your iPad and computer. Or use the app wherever inspiration strikes, and then bring your colors into Photoshop CS5 when you’re connected. Share colors via email, too.
Adobe Nav—provides a interface for selecting Photoshop menus, tools, and scripts on your iPad screen. The app lets you save custom palettes of up to 16 tools and preview Photoshop files remotely.
With Adobe Nav and a network connection between your iPad and computer, you can customize the Photoshop CS5 toolbar on iPad to easily access the tools you use most. Browse, reorder, view, and zoom in on up to 200 open Photoshop documents on iPad. Tap a document on iPad to make it the active document in Photoshop CS5. Disconnect from the network and use iPad to easily share files in person with others.
Adobe Eazel—A finger-painting app that can both save art on the iPad and make it available in Photoshop. Placing five fingers on the iPad screen activates controls in Eazel for changing color, opacity, brush size, and more.
With Adobe Eazel, you can use your iPad and your fingertips to paint beautiful works of art. Paint across your entire iPad screen, and easily access the tools you need. Send your artwork directly to Photoshop CS5 from any location—all you need is a network connection between your iPad and computer. Or do all your painting in the app, and share via email.
These iPad apps from Adobe are available from the iTunes store, and all require Photoshop CS5 to version 12.0.4 or later. To upgrade, do one of the following:
- Download the update from www.adobe.com.
- Select Check for Updates from the Help menu in Photoshop CS5.
