Adobe demos full version of Photoshop CC for the iPad, software should be available in 2019

If you’ve been hankering for a full-on version of Adobe Photoshop CC for the iPad, it’ll be along in 2019.
Photoshop CC for iPad has been unveiled at the Adobe MAX conference in Los Angeles Monday morning. Version 1 will ship in 2019, but to hit that deadline it’ll ship with a subset of core features with more rolling out later. Adobe hasn’t said how long it’ll take to get Photoshop CC up to full feature parity with the desktop version.
The company stated that document edits will sync with Creative Cloud in real time so can jump between devices and keep working. Adobe demonstrated a pre-release version to high praise. Layers worked as you’d expect, masks were easy to make, and it apparently felt like Photoshop on the desktop.

The move helps elevate the iPad and iOS to the rank of a first-tier player in Adobe’s ecosystem. This is also interesting in that it shows how well Photoshop can run on Apple’s A-series processors, which could push Apple from Intel to its own chips within its devices.
Should such a move take place, it might indicate Apple’s transition to its own custom processors for the Mac in 2020.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
