It's not a secret Adobe Systems is working on a graphics program for the tablet - indeed, John Nack, Adobe tablets work leader, has asked for advice on what should be done last year and Adobe Photoshop have demonstrated other features on Android and iPad tablet. But the fact that the company is shedding more than a reluctance now on projects to demonstrate Adobe's more willing to raise expectations in anticipation of actual projects.
At Photoshop World conference, John Loiacono, head of Adobe Photoshop and other Creative Suite software, shows some of what the company had in mind. In particular, it shows the incarnation iPad-taste of its flagship Photoshop features, layers, which arrived on a personal computer using Photoshop 3.0 in 1994.
Loiacono quickly calling it just "technology that we see," and to not do any deliveries, but Adobe obviously getting close to offering something other than the somewhat stripped-down Photoshop Express application for phones and tablets. Photography Bay demo video capture Loiacono's.
Clearly Adobe's move from concept to reality. What is also clear is that a large number of upstarts are also lurking in the wild claims of a new tablet, where the newcomers have the opportunity to shift the entrenched players of the PC era.
At the casual end of the spectrum, programs such as Hipstamatic, FX Photo Studio, Instagram, and Picplz let people play with their photos and share them, become embedded in the life of an online community. For those with more serious creative bent, Zen Brush, brushes, Inspire Pro, and Inkpad imaging provides many options. And for more serious, such as LRpad and Photosmith applications have the potential to enter into serious photographer's life '.

It's not clear yet how far will spread to the grass tablet personal computers, especially when it comes to heavy computing work, but it is clear that the tablets are looking for a prominent place in the lives of many people and that electronic hardware they become less vulnerable.
Layers, which require more memory and processing power, is the subject of photo editing.
They can be used to combine elements of different images or to adjust the level to which effects are applied throughout the image. Part of one layer can be made selectively transparent, revealing the contents of the layer below, an approach that enables advanced compositing and adjusted.
Loiacono only shows that in the demonstration, using, of course, touch interface. It also shows a rotated and scaled images quickly with multitouch, although it is unclear how large the original image.
"This is just a concept of how we take the technology that we found in Lightroom and Photoshop and actually expand them with these devices as they become more important to your workflow," he said.
It's good to see something Adobe produce that can bring some influence of image-editing companies to the world of mobile-device world is marked by rapid application-effects such as Hipstamatic and Picplz. Full-complete or Photoshop Lightroom is impossible today, given the constraints on memory, processing, and storage of tablets at the moment and the phone.
But this device was growing up, and a number of software companies who find something useful to do with them, although they are not eight-core workstation with a dozen performances of RAM.
One example is LRpad, a $ 10 application that essentially offloads some of Lightroom touch controls to control IPAD's. Connecting via Wi-Fi to the PC that brain surgery.

Another example of innovation around Adobe Photosmith, in beta testing now. With it, photographers can do some Lightroom photo management tasks before they bring a photo into your PC.
"The photographer can take pictures of them on the ground, download them to iPad, and use Photosmith to review their images, add custom collection, the filter with specific criteria, define metadata, and filtering the data Photosmith also. Filling critical gaps in the current workflow of mobile photographers, allowing full 1:01 image zoom 21-megapixel raw even, "said the developers application.
Take a photo of a round trip through the tablet additional sound like extra work for me, even with Camera Connection Kit Apple and the arrival of CompactFlash and SD memory card reader for the iPad, but perhaps it need not be such a hassle. Tethering - where images are sent directly to the computer than to a memory card - is becoming more sophisticated as a computer can be integrated into the pattern of photographic work. And Wi-Fi and Bluetooth become more common in the device, too. With such technology, the tablet may be a way station than the automated side trip.
One of the profound changes which, of course, is that the tablet using the touch screen. Which can provide a more artist connections directly to their jobs, but also misses the accuracy of something like a relatively expensive Cintiq tablet-enabled screen that uses a Wacom pen. Even there, though, there are options, such as the Ten One Design Pogo Sketch tablet stylus to improve the precision beyond the level of finger-painting.
Additionally, for travelers for whom weight is a problem, the tablet can be an alternative that is lighter but still capable laptop for photo screening - not to mention the fact that it is more useful for e-mail, applications, and use the Web from the portable hard drive that only stores photos you until you get to the computer.
I expect Adobe to bring more than one product to market - not the more mature alternatives to Photoshop Express, but more. What exactly the company would appear to still be seen, but Nack has hinted there is work going on.
