By

Last week, we saw what the future possibilities are for Photoshop on the iPad and other tablet devices when it comes to actually working with layers.  Now that I’m back from Photoshop World and have had some sleep, I’m getting to some of the other exciting stuff that I saw there.

In yet another segment of the Photoshop World 2011 Keynote, John Loiacono introduced a teaser trailer of a new “color mixing” feature that will be coming to Photoshop for the iPad in the “very very near term,” as he put it.

Editing Video in Photoshop

By

If you’ve been reading Photography Bay over the last couple of weeks, you already knew that you can edit video in Photoshop CS5 Extended. If you missed the prior post, check out the Bokeh 2 review where I applied a tilt-shift effect to a video file.

Of course, seeing the latest and greatest things unveiled by Adobe is a cool thing about Photoshop World.  However, another cool thing about the keynote session and other sessions withing Photoshop World is taking away little educational gems that will help you grow as a photographer and editor.

Photoshop Express 2.0 for iOS

By

Adobe has updated Photoshop Express for Apple iOS to version 2.0.  The update includes the ability to purchase an in-app camera pack that leverages powerful noise reduction based on the outstanding tech in Lightroom 3 and CS5.  Additionally, the $3.99 camera pack offers a self-timer shutter trigger and an auto-review option.

You can find Photoshop Express 2.0 in the Apple App Store – and it’s still free.  If you want the extra horsepower of the above features though, you’ll have to spring for the $3.99 Adobe Camera Pack as a purchase within the Photoshop Express App.
