The Full Photoshop CC Is Coming To the iPad In 2019 (arstechnica.com)
The "real version" of Photoshop is coming to the iPad next year, complete with a user interface similar to the desktop application and all the main tools. Ars Technica reports: Photoshop for iPad has a user interface structured similarly to the desktop application. It is immediately familiar to users of the application but tuned for touch screens, with larger targets and adaptations for the tablet as well as gestures to streamline workflows. Both touch and pencil input are supported. The interface is somewhat simpler than the desktop version, and although the same Photoshop code is running under the hood to ensure there's no loss of fidelity, not every feature will be available in the mobile version. The first release will contain the main tools while Adobe plans to add more in the future. Cloud syncing is a key element of Photoshop on iPad. Edits made on the iPad will be synchronized transparently with the desktop -- no conversions or import/export process to go through. Using a feature not available in the iPad version should then be as simple as hitting save and then opening the file on the desktop, picking up where you left off. Adobe is also reportedly building a tablet painting app called Project Gemini, which "simulates real brushes, paints, and materials as well as the interactions between them," reports Ars. "It combines raster graphics, vector drawing, and the Photoshop engine into a single application designed for artwork and illustration."
Glad to see this option for iPad users, although I have been very happy with Affinity Photo (great photoshop replacement) and Designer (great illustrator replacement so far). Maybe these aren't as feature rich as Adobe, but a one time purhcase of $30 each has made my life a lot easier.
You can easily complain about CC (I do) without fabricating things like cost.
I pay $10/month (not $99) and that includes 100GB of storage along with access to the photographic apps (photography plan).
Even for the Full CC suite of apps PLUS Adobe Stock, you are only talking $83/month.
Of course, to me that storage seems so laughably small I would only use it for projects I would then move out of the adobe cloud again. But it's not $100/month as you are absurdly claiming.
