Photoshop for iPad? Adobe expands Photoshop, Lightroom

After putting Lightroom on mobile devices, now it's Photoshop's turn. During the Adobe MAX show, Adobe launched a preview of Photoshop for iPad, a decision that, according to the company, will bring all the tools of the full version to tablets. Along with the look at Photoshop on iPad and the launch of Adobe Photoshop CC 2019, Photoshop's brother, Lightroom, also enjoys a facial recognition allowing it to easily search for photos of specific people , improved search and new sharing tools.

Photoshop for iPad

According to Adobe, the Photoshop application for iPad is what it really is, based on the current Photoshop code of the desktop. The company said that the application for iPad would have tools identical to those of the desktop editor, including layers, masks and even 3D tools. It will take several versions of the iPad application to reach the same level of tools to launch faster, but Adobe says that all Photoshop tools are for the iPad and possibly additional tablets.

Although the tools and the code base can be identical, editing with the help of a mouse and the one using a touch screen create workflows very different. While the iPad version of Photoshop will host the same tools, the interface is refreshed to adapt to the new media. On the iPad, the toolbars are smaller in order to leave more screen space for the actual editing job, while a full mode screen will always leave a mini-icon available for tool exchanges. The application will also be compatible with Apple Pencil.

The touch interface also brings new touch controls – for example, photo editors can open the layers panel with a pinched zoom. Adobe indicates that the application uses a context-sensitive user interface, which minimizes unnecessary tools and only opens toolbars when this tool is used.

Adobe points out that the app for iPad is not a separate version, like Photoshop Express. Instead, the iPad version will work with the same PSD files created by users on the desktop. The program synchronizes changes between the iPad and a desktop computer with the help of Creative Cloud, which means that users do not need to import or export to work on a single image from multiple devices.

Adobe launches just a taste of the next iPad app – the company has not been shared yet when launching this app.

Photoshop on desktop users will also receive several new tools, as well as a few smaller changes to improve workflow and resolve minor issues. Oh, and Creative Cloud users now have the ability to automatically install new versions of apps.

The launch includes a redesigned Content-Aware Fill approach that gives publishers more control over the end results. This tool, commonly used to delete image objects, allows photo editors to choose which parts of the image to replicate inside the fill by choosing a sampling area. The tool also allows photo editors to resize or invert this area to create a more seamless fill. (The original Content-Aware fill will also be available).

Adobe also brought Symmetry Painting out of the tech preview during its official debut. The tool reproduces the brush strokes along an axis to create symmetrical patterns in less time. The symmetry painting can also be used on several axes to create mandala patterns. Adobe has also added a radial option since the initial addition of the tool as a technical preview.

Several changes to the application are aimed at improving user processes and suggestions. The Cancel keyboard shortcut will continue to cancel actions, in order, instead of returning to a restore command after the first action. Photo Editors will no longer have to press Enter to validate changes such as crops before switching to a new tool, and transforming a layer automatically retains the appropriate proportions, no shift key is used. ;is necessary. The text can now be edited by a double tapping from the moving tool, instead of going back to the toolbar to select the text tool.

A new frame tool serves as a placeholder for future images and will automatically resize the image once it is placed. Additional updates include the ability to hide the last reference point, lock layers in place, preview blend modes, evenly distribute spacing between multiple objects, and many other enhancements to the map. # 39; s interface.

Adobe Lightroom CC 2019

Lightroom CC has just got some features that the old Lightroom Classic CC does not have yet. Artificial intelligence will now recognize faces and help users find specific images of people. People View automatically identifies people and appears as a new section of the photo library. The photo editor and the asset manager also get search suggestions when typing.

A new Share tab in Lightroom CC lets you browse and access shared albums on Lightroom's online interface. This tab also allows users to share information with Adobe Portfolio. The company is also collaborating with third-party companies to add options such as sending images for lab printing. On iOS and Android only, Lightroom CC allows users to filter images to be shared on Lightroom Web with the help of flags and stars.

Lightroom CC on the desktop is now also compatible with Apple Photos Migrator to send photos between the two library systems.

Adobe Lightroom Classic CC 2019

Lightroom Classic also sees a handful of small changes with Max's launches. Adobe's Lightroom photo editors only, can use depth maps from dual-lens smartphones in the range masking tools to select areas of the image based on depth. The latest version for Canon cameras also increases the speed of shooting in online mode, and an update for Nikon users remains to come.

Adobe has also simplified the creation of a panoramic HDR merge in fewer steps – instead of creating multiple panoramas first to overlap in HDR, the merge options now include an HDR panorama tool. Adobe Camera RAW also has the same functionality. Beyond Photoshop and Lightroom, Adobe has updated several other applications today, in addition to launching new ones.
