Adobe Creative Suite on iPad?!?

[theanimaster]

I dunno about selling more Adobe products, but if Adobe has Illustrator for the iPad, I will definitely buy an iPad!!

It can be done -- at least I can vouch for Illustrator. I currently create most of my full colour illustrations on my slow-yet-portable 867Mhz G4 rather than my stuck-at-home 2hz iMac!!!

So yes --- definitely, if Adobe released a CS suite on the iPad, I will definitely get one...


--- along with the Adobe CS suite.

Illustrator would be nice. Heck my uncle just bought an ancient Mac Classic and we installed Illustrator 1.0 (yes 1.0!) on it. I'm sure iPad could run a much beefier version of this vector-based program.

I'd love to have a version of Photoshop on the iPad. It could be a light version. I don't care. I'm just so used to Photoshop's interface.

Heck I'd be fine if they just straight ported Photoshop 3.5 -- the first version with layers and it ran OK (for back then) on my PC with 32mb of RAM back in 1994. That ram cost $1600 at the time! Nearly $800 per 16mb stick.

I don't see myself using PS on the iPad. I need the largest screen real estate possible.

I've downloaded several of the photo editing apps already... Photogene, Pixel Magic and PhotoPad by Zagg (free!). They are limited, yes, but show the potential of what the iPad can do editing photos.

I'm into photography heavily and currently do a "Picture-A-Day" project. While most of the time I'll process my photos on my desktop, it would be nice to do on the iPad once in a while... days when I'm short on time (could do it while I'm still out and about), or when I'm away from home (like on a weekend trip). Heck, I may just try it out today, just to see how it goes

No, most of us professionally would not want to do a lot of photo editing or retouching or layout/design work on the iPad, seeing as most of us doing so have 24" and larger monitors (and multiple ones at that). But to use for fun once in a while? Absolutely.

I think if Photoshop makes an iPad version of their mobile app, lots of people will buy it (as long as it's not ridiculously priced like most of their software - LOL)

Screw Adobe - How about Acorn or the other 3rd party Mac app that apes PS?

Acorn apes Photoshop? Hmmm...no.
