Adobe the dominator on the scene retouching images with your suite of programs that help design professionals to change the world visually speaking. Perhaps, something that we missed is an application that had that Photoshop "flavor" with which to edit photos, at least in something similar to what happens with the desktop version. And we may be close to this with a new app coming this year.
If these past days we have been able to have a little of what is Microsoft Office on our Android phones, by the end of this year we could have almost the same sensations by having Photoshop in the palm of your hand with the new Adobe app which will replace the current Photoshop Touch. An app that would come to take advantage of all the processing and hardware potential of the new Android phones and tablets.
Adobe plans
Adobe plans to remove Photoshop Touch from app stores, and this is because it is working to launch a new application that would be able to retouch your photographs in the moment, almost as if you had the Photoshop of a lifetime, and not that reduced version that seemed more like a mirage than anything else.
Therefore, the € 7,99 version of Adobe that is found on both Android and iPad tablets, and that can still be found on Google Play and the App Store, will not be available from May 28. Those of you who have downloaded and installed Photoshop Touch will be able to continue using it, although no update will be received from Adobe anymore.
What awaits us with the new Adobe app?
Adobe explained their reasons for the withdrawal of Photoshop Touch, and also gave a look at the new application coming this year with a demo video. A video showing the prototype software that will allow open a 50 megapixel image on an iPad and it works as fast as it would on its desktop version.
The video also shows several of the tools that will be counted as selective erasure of objects, color swapping and liquefy filter. Powerful tools that will allow you to take the editing of images through a mobile device to another level and that would bring this version a little closer to that of the desktop itself, so the desire for it to arrive increases every moment after watching that video.
This software has been called as Project Rigel and it is expected to be available by the end of 2015 as a kind of application that would replace Photoshop Touch. From what we can tell from CNET, this software will be free but will require a Creative Cloud subscription to be able to sync with other apps in Adobe's CC suite.
