So you’ve got your hands on a shiny new iPad? Or perhaps Santa left you with some money that would go towards apps on iTunes? Or maybe you really just want something to enhance your workflow. It doesn’t matter, this app needs to be checked out.
Imagine Adobe Illustrator, strip it down to its core features and add a layer of touch controls tuned for the iPad – now you have Inkpad. With some time you can create some beautiful vector works. I use it for only smaller pieces but, as shown below, the developers show below a mushroom drawn entirely from the app. In this post I will be discussing the pros and cons of this very interesting app as an enhancement to your workflow.

Chances are, if you use one Adobe application, you use two or even more. As each has unique features and functions, it’s often necessary to transfer data between apps to get the results you want. Years ago it was necessary to save data in flat, exchange formats such as EPS and TIFF to get this done. Though many people still use this approach it is now very inefficient and time consuming and restricts the capacity to use layers, transparency and other effects. This two-part article presents a quick overview of some of the flexible ways to exchange data in CS5.

Adobe’s upgrade system has historically allowed you to upgrade from the last 3 versions. This means if you have CS, CS2 or CS3 you can currently upgrade to CS4.
Today Adobe announced that CS5 is coming on the 12th of April. Once that is shipping and assuming Adobe maintain the same policy on upgrades then you will need CS2, CS3 or CS4 to upgrade to CS5. If you have CS it will most likely mean a whole new purchase, with no upgrade option.
