Adobe is working on a full version of Photoshop for the iPad

Hoping to boost subscription sales and help on-the-go creatives (especially those working in the media and entertainment fields), Adobe is working on launching a full version of its Photoshop app for the Apple iPad. A report from Bloomberg claims the app will be launched at this year’s MAX creative conference in October and will hit the market sometime next year. As the report says, “Engineering delays could still alter that timeline.”

Adobe’s Chief Product Officer Scott Belsky confirmed that the company is working on a full, cross-platform iteration of Photoshop and its other apps but he won’t give a specific timeline when it comes to the release. When this launches, it will give users the ability to continue edits from one device to another. You could point out that existing apps have companion versions through the company’s Creative Cloud subscription service, but these apps are, as Bloomberg pointed out, based on “aging architectures with different underpinnings for each device.”
