In particular, they got illustrator Devon Candy-Lee to give the tools a go and his input really gives the review a great touch, revealing the limitations of the product and software. The Verge has a thorough review of the Ink and Slide, as well as how they fit in with the new iPad apps. Its a $199.99 package, made in partnership with Adonit, that contains a stylus (‘Ink’) and ruler (‘slide’) for use on tablets - specifically Adobe’s iPad apps. Adobe Ink and Slide HardwareĪdobe previously announced the Ink and Slide, but officially released the product yesterday. And you can feel okay about picking up a little more than you intended to on your first pass – switching to “Remove” from “Add” lets you easily edit out parts you didn’t mean to pick up after the fact. It’s not perfect, but it’s as close as you can possibly get when you’re not using fine detailed instruments like a Wacom tablet or a high-DPI mouse. Meanwhile, over at TechCrunch, Darrell Etherington took a look at Photoshop Mix and shared his experience with the app.īased on my usage, the method Adobe has created for selecting areas of an image to separate is unmatched on touch-based devices in terms of ease of use and accuracy. If you’re curious to learn more about Adobe’s new Line and Sketch apps, a great review of them by Serenity Caldwell is available at Macworld. It does so with a wide array of guides (called Trace Packs and Stamp Packs) that you can enlarge, resize, and twist on your canvas. At its heart, the app is designed to help you easily draft and draw shapes, lines, and other geometrical objects.
While Sketch is a solid program in its own right, Line is an outright masterwork from Adobe: an easy-to-use app with incredible power behind it. So long as they’re driving more subscriptions, Adobe benefits regardless.Īdobe launched three new, free, mobile apps for the iPad Adobe Line for precision drawing and drafting, Adobe Sketch for free-form drawing (with interesting community features), Photoshop Mix which has been designed to do precise compositing and masking. Updates were also made to their recently launched Lightroom for iPhone and Adobe Voice (intended to create animated videos on an iPad).
Rather, with access to Creative Cloud’s millions of pre-qualified customers of creative tools, they could compete against Adobe’s marquee apps on a feature-by-feature basis.
#CAN I BUY ADOBE INDESIGN OUTRIGHT FULL#
Khoi Vinh has a great take on all of Adobe’s announcements that you should really read, but I think his comments on the Creative Cloud SDK are particularly great.Ī properly implemented third-party developer ecosystem could mean that the next Photoshop or Illustrator competitor won’t have to fight against the full might of Adobe in order to gain mass acceptance. You can read more about the SDK on Adobe’s website and request access to the private beta. This SDK will allow third party developers to do everything from incorporate their apps with Adobe’s Creative Cloud storage component, enable compatibility with Photoshop documents (.PSD), support Adobe’s new Ink and Slide hardware, publish directly to Behance and a whole lot more. Time will tell, but perhaps the most significant announcement in the long-term will be Adobe’s announcement of a Creative Cloud SDK.
