Six new Adobe Touch Apps were inspired by Adobe Creative Suite programs
The Android Market has received six new Adobe Creative Suite-inspired tablet apps from Adobe Systems Incorporated today.
The six new apps include Adobe Photoshop Touch, Adobe Collage, Adobe Debut, Adobe Ideas, Adobe Kuler and Adobe Proto. They are specifically made for tablets, and allow users to tend to their creative needs.
Adobe Photoshop Touch offers core Photoshop features and a few new ones as well. Using finger gestures to navigate the app and transform images, users can use tools such as the Scribble Selection Tool, where the user simply removes objects in an image by scribbling on what to keep and what to extract.
Adobe Collage allows users to combine photos, drawings and text to create any collage they choose. As the collage expands, so does the digital canvas. Color schemes can be added to the collage as well.
Adobe Debut is more of a presentation app. Once a project is created in one of the other apps, it can be presented via Adobe Debut whether it's in a professional business meeting or just showing off to friends. It has a markup pen as well so that notes can be made during or after the presentation.
Adobe Ideas is a vector-based tool for drawing that allows the user to create smooth strokes using their stylus or finger. It's simply a blank canvas waiting for any drawings or image transformations you choose to create.
Adobe Kuler produces color themes that can be viewed or commented on, and later exported as color swatches for other Adobe projects.
Adobe Proto allows for the creation of website and mobile app prototypes that can be shared with creative teams, clients, etc. A user can create a design concept or website structure and demonstrate it by exporting it as HTML, CSS and Javascript, then sharing it in a popular browser for "immediate review."
Adobe also really pushes for the upcoming Adobe Creative Cloud feature, which allows users to access both tablet and desktop applications. For instance, if a creation is made within Adobe Photoshop Touch on a tablet, it can be stored and opened up once again in Adobe Photoshop on a computer. Finished results on all six apps can later be accessed in Adobe Creative Suite programs such as Photoshop Illustrator.
Adobe Creative Cloud will be available in the first half of 2012.
"Adobe Touch Apps will transform how people use tablets -- from mere consumption devices to vehicles for expression and creativity," said David Wadhwani, senior vice president and general manager of Adobe's Digital Media Business Unit. "Our touch apps will be a key component in Adobe's full Creative Cloud offering, coming in 2012."
The Adobe Touch Apps can be found here.

I'm sure amateur designers would love this, (look ma, Im using photoshop lol) but its unlikely it'll gain much traction in the professional market.

There is a difference between being professional and being conventional...
I know at least a dozen professional designers that are stoked to see these additions to their creative arsenal.

Right because if an app on a mobile device isn't a hit in the "professional market" it's useless?
"Professionals" don't use pads or phones for serious photo editing work, just to clue you in.

I haven't tried it yet since I don't have a tablet and it's Android 3.1+, but it looks solid. I'm sure the Photoshop app will be bashed here since it doesn't do everything CS5.1 does but it's not supposed to for $10 instead of $500. Not everyone carries their laptop and dSLR at all times. Having quick photo editing beyond cropping and applying color filters would be nice for sharing pics the day of the event. Some phone cameras are getting nice enough for everyday use and this would be a great boon.
The presentation app looks nice too. A tablet connected to a wireless projector would make a much more dynamic presentation than someone standing at a laptop. You get the freedom of a remote combined with the interactivity of drawing with the touch screen. If it exports from powerpoint or keynote, even better. What's not to like??
