LOS ANGELES–( EON: Enhanced Online News)–At its MAX 2011 technology conference, Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced Adobe® Touch Apps, a family of six, intuitive touch screen applications, designed for Android tablets and Apple iPad that enable anyone to explore ideas and present their creativity anytime, anywhere. Samsung’s been rumored to debut a Galaxy Tab with a pen for some time now. We’re going to have to see if Samsung came up with their own proprietary solution or if the company had utilized a digitizer technology from Wacom or N-Trig, akin to what HTC and Lenovo are doing. While I am by no means a PS pro, I saw every tool, brush, and setting that gets me through my day. In fact, we aren’t sure this model will ever make it to stores, but the idea of this type of pen experience on a tablet is intriguing.Īs to the Photoshop Touch app itself, here’s what Droid-Life has to say about Adobe’s touch-enabled program for Android in their brief hands-on time with it:Īs a piece of software that won’t be here for another month, it was very polished, easy to navigate, and powerful. It was built specifically for their new pen technology that is pressure sensitive and allows you to draw, erase and choose colors in a jiff. According to Droid-Life, the Samsung tablet may not make it into production and is being used as a proof-of-concept device at this time: For example, HTC currently offers the HTC Jetstream, the HTC Flyer, and the HTC EVO View 4G tablets with HTC Scribe and the HTC Magic Pen that can register hundreds of pen input pressure points. It’s unclear if the pressure-sensitive pen technology that’s being demoed on the Samsung tablet as part of the Photoshop Touch demo would apply to other tablets. Adobe says that tablets are now reaching the computing power of computers just 5 years ago, and we can hopefully see more professional apps–like Photoshop–being ported to the mobile experience down the road.Īccording to Adobe, plug-ins for Photoshop will not be available at this time, but the company may be exploring the idea for the future for creative professionals who need for tools. Adobe Photoshop Touch was created using Adobe Air. An iOS version of the app will be announced in early 2012. Photoshop Touch will debut in November 2011 for Android tablets at $9.99, and will allow users to edit and manipulate photos easily while on the go. The slate that’s being used to showcase Photoshop Touch runs Android Honeycomb, it appears, and highlights a pressure-sensitive and pen-enabled touchscreen that will make it easy for users to draw and edit on the tablet. At the Adobe MAX conference in Los Angeles, California, which coincidentally or ironically is happening the same week that Apple’s slated for its iPhone announcement, Adobe and Samsung are showing off Photoshop Touch, a more feature-rich Photoshop experience on a tablet, on a prototype Samsung slate.
