As we reported last month, Adobe has developed three new Photoshop apps to be used with the iPad. They’re now available for purchase.
Adobe Eazel, Nav and Color Lava help professional and amateur users alike create, manage, and manipulate their artwork and images on the iPad like never before. The apps also work in conjunction with Adobe’s new Create Suite 5.5.
In the Color Lava app($2.99), users can easily mix different colors with their fingertips to create new swatches which can then be used in Photoshop.
Artists and painters will enjoy the Eazel app for iPad($4.99). A new type of “wet’ and “dry paints will allow users to create realistic paintings and artwork by taking advantage of iPad’s multi-touch screen using their fingers or a stylus.
The Nav app for iPad($1.99) serves more as a utility function, letting the user select and control Photoshop tools, customize the toolbar, create new files or zoom in on open Photoshop files.
Publisher Conde Nast has worked out a deal with Apple to sell subscriptions for The New Yorker within its app.
An updated version of that magazine’s iPad app gives lets users subscribe to the weekly magazine for $5.99 a month, or the equivalent of a $1.50 an issue. That’s a steep discount from the app’s old model, which only sold individual issues for $4.99 a pop.
Conde Nast is selling an annual subscription to the iPad app for $59.99; a yearly subscription to the print version of the magazine costs $69.95. Very important: Conde says print subscribers will get iPad access for free.
Several other Conde Nast magazines should have their own apps soon, providing in-app subscription purchases. These will include Wired, Golf Digest, Glamour, Vanity Fair, Self, Allure and GQ. Magazines offered on a monthly basis will cost $19.99 for an annual subscription rate and $1.99 per-issue.
