Adobe officially launches Photoshop on iPad, previews Adobe Illustrator and introduces new Photoshop Camera

Adobe has made several huge announcements today at Adobe MAX, the world’s largest creativity conference. This includes the launch of Adobe Photoshop on iPad, the availability of Adobe Fresco to Microsoft Surface and the preview of Adobe Illustrator and also Photoshop Camera.

Adobe Photoshop for iPad has been discussed since last year, but it’s finally here with a touch-based UI and some of Photoshop’s essential functions. However, 9to5mac did mention that Photoshop on iPad isn’t fully completed yet, so it might take awhile for more features to be added for the full experience. 

As for Adobe Fresco that was available for iPad for quite some time already, it is now also downloadable on the Microsoft Surface Pro X devices and Wacom MobileStudio Pro hardware. Users will be able to sync Photoshop brushes for better workflow between Adobe Fresco and Adobe Photoshop.

In addition, Adobe has also previewed Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop Camera during the conference. Adobe Illustrator will finally make it to the iPad, though Adobe did not mention when that’ll happen. On the other hand, Adobe Photoshop Camera is a new mobile app that supposedly include various lenses and effects so you can capture images immediately with the Photoshop effects applied. The app will also be using Adobe Sensei to improve the quality of photos taken.

Adobe also revealed that there will be several updates to its existing apps such as Lightroom, Premiere Pro, After Effects and more.
