Makers of popular digital design programs for creatives, Adobe Systems Inc. has decided to launch the full version of its Photoshop app for Apple Inc.'s iPad in its recent App Strategy Shift.
According to Bloomberg, the software developer plans to unveil the new app at its annual MAX creative conference in October and is slated to hit the market in 2019.
Adobe’s chief product officer of Creative Cloud, Scott Belsky, in a recent interview stated:
My aspiration is to get these on the market as soon as possible. There’s a lot required to take a product as sophisticated and powerful as Photoshop and make that work on a modern device like the iPad. We need to bring our products into this cloud-first collaborative era.
According to Belsky, customers in media and entertainment, are increasingly working on tablets rather than desktop computers, and have asked the company for the capability to make “edits on the fly” to their creative projects.
People familiar with the project also mentioned that Adobe's mission is of twofold - to satisfy the professionals who rely on its software for photo editing and illustration, and to capture casual users.
The new tools on the app will have mobile-friendly interfaces more familiar to these audiences, rather than being replicas of the existing desktop versions.
Adobe provided no confirmation on what iPad models would be supported, but we would predict that the current iPad Pro's will among them. We'll have to wait for official confirmation from Adobe on support for the original iPad Pros and the new 2018 iPad with its A10 processor and Apple pencil support.
