Hat Tip: Pop Photo
Adobe is working on making Photoshop compatible with touchscreen technology. This would enable using tablets and similar devices to be used to edit photos without having to use an additional keyboard or mouse. Photos could be edited on site. This could greatly benefit photographers that shoot on location instead of in a studio.
The edited photos could be sent to an editor or client while still on location as long as the device had communications capabilities.
This also has implications for in studio editing. Many of the current computer display options include touchscreen capabilities. These displays could conceivably replace art tablets. The touchscreen display could be used exactly like an art canvas. (How viable this options turns out to be is anybody's guess at this time.)
Personally, I have mixed feelings about Adobe. I'm not a fan of the Cloud Computing subscription model. The latest Abode server issue illustrates why.
At the same time, the arguably produces the best image editing software currently available. Photoshop is usually the first program to offer new features. Other companies then have to find a way to include similar features in their products.
It will be interesting to see how long it takes those other companies to offer this feature as well.
