Adobe is focusing on developing a Photoshop application for iPad, with more Illustrator versions coming next year

After Bloomberg reported that Adobe would "fulfill its promise" to release a Photoshop CC version specifically for iPad devices later this year, John Gruber, a designer from Daring Fireball recently released. Revealed some details about Adobe's application release plan.

Specifically, Gruber said that Adobe is focusing entirely on developing the Photoshop application for iPad, one of the leading projects that Adobe considers to "devote" wholeheartedly to bring a product dedicated to the creators.

"The Photoshop project for the iPad development team has been growing for the past year, their plan is to add features over and over again. And even though it's only equipped with features that are basic, but for those who really care about Photoshop for iPad and intend to use it for a long time, this will still be good news because anyway, Photoshop for iPad will be the first version of Photoshop to be Adobe. developed with fully touch interface. "

While some users of the test version of Photoshop for iPad are not happy with the application because it lacks many important features, Gruber said that although Adobe orientates its application as a real "Photoshop version" "for the iPad, but treating it as a" full "and" complete "Photoshop version is not entirely accurate.

"Photoshop for iPad is real because the application uses the same source code that has been deployed to the desktop platform for decades. It's a great technical achievement. But Photoshop for iPad is not a version. full, and initially Adobe never intended that, because this application will remain just a collection of basic features from the desktop version. "

Adobe first announced plans to develop a Photoshop-specific version of the iPad from October last year and promises to release an official version by the end of 2019. Test versions have been released internally since Last May, however, at the present time, Adobe is still quite "vague" about its application release plan.

And although not quite as complete as a desktop version, Photoshop for iPad will still be able to view, open and edit PSD files (Photoshop document files on computers). To make it available later this year, Adobe will have to remove some features, but will soon add these features in future updates, including the ability to rotate canvas, shapes. / path, custom brushes, fonts, color sampling, custom curves charts, smart objects, grids and paths .

In a latest report, Bloomberg revealed that Adobe is also developing an Illustrator version for iPad and will present at the Adobe MAX conference held in November, before the official launch of the application in 2020. .
