    Adobe refreshes Creative Cloud suite, releases Photoshop for iPad

    Adobe has announced a slew of products, led by a version of Illustrator for Apple’s iPad, meant to fortify its position as the leading provider of creative software.

    Design app Illustrator will come to the iPad in 2020, the San Jose, California-based company said on Monday in a statement. Adobe also formally launched Photoshop for iPad, a year after announcing the product. The company introduced the new offerings at its annual creative conference, called Max, in Los Angeles.

    While many of the applications cater to creative professionals seeking more sophisticated capabilities, Adobe is also trying to expand the appeal of its photo-editing and illustration software to hobbyists. The strategy may boost revenue growth for the Creative Cloud unit. Adobe projected in September that sales growth for its smaller marketing software unit would slow down in the current period, raising pressure on the main creative business.

    The announcements on Monday are akin to ‘launching a new version of Creative Cloud for a new era of creativity’

    Adobe, founded in 1982, is among the best-performing software companies this decade. Its stock has increased almost nine-fold since the beginning of 2012, gaining 23% this year to US$277.82 at Friday’s close. Now, the company is revamping major apps for mobile devices amid waning consumer enthusiasm for PCs. The new apps underscore Adobe’s need to deliver software to consumers on whatever devices they use as it tries to fuel continued growth.

    The announcements on Monday are akin to “launching a new version of Creative Cloud for a new era of creativity”, Scott Belsky, chief product officer of Adobe’s Creative Cloud division, said in a blog post.

    The company said it was eager to get feedback from Illustrator users as it develops a mobile version of the software for the first time.

    ‘Early stages’

    “We’re still in the early stages, but fundamentally, we’re re-imagining the Illustrator experience from the ground up to take advantage of the unique capabilities a tablet offers in terms of touch and Apple pencil,” Adobe said in a blog post.

    The company also revealed a new tool for its XD software interface design app that allows users to collaborate on the same project in real time, called Co-Editing. It’s currently in beta testing. The concept is similar to that of Figma, a creative start-up whose main product competes with the XD app.

    Here are Adobe’s other major announcements:

    • The software maker expanded a partnership with IBM’s design services arm. The deal lets IBM iX offer design software for business clients built on the Adobe XD platform.
    • Adobe launched an augmented reality software program, called Aero, which it first announced last year at Max.
    • The company updated its Rush mobile video-editing app to share videos directly to viral social media app TikTok, owned by China’s ByteDance.  — Reported by Nico Grant, (c) 2019 Bloomberg LP
