CNET has reported that Adobe Systems is developing a brand new app that will give popular tablets the ability to edit photos in top quality. It is said that the new app will boast controls for photo editing such as Lightroom software of Adobe for personal computers plus it will also serve as a “cloud-connected companion to the program”. Tom Hogarty, who is the product manager for Lightroom at Adobe group, has revealed an early prototype edition of the new app in an online show called ‘The Grid’. In that online show Hogarty has made it known that Adobe has done a wonderful job with “PC-centric photography software,” but now the company also needs to integrate mobile devices and internet connectivity into photo editing. He also said that, “We need to take that story beyond the desktop. We haven’t done a great job of it yet.”
Tom did not mention any date of shipping the new app of Adobe, but he did demonstrate some features of the software by running it over an iPad 2. Below are the details of those features:
“- The ability to edit photos taken in raw photo formats, including Lightroom develop-module parameters like exposure, clarity, shadows, highlights, and white balance.
– Cloud-synchronized editing so that changes made on a tablet arrive on the same photo on the PC.
– The ability to zoom all the way to 100 percent for checking photo focus and details
And without promising anything, he said he’d like to see some of Lightroom’s library-module features, like sorting photos into categories or flagging picks and rejects, in the app.”
He said, “I spend couple hours computing on the train. I’d love to be able to sort and select images.”
Hogarty showed only a few features of the prototype software, as he joked that “The engineers are going to kill me. I’m going to get voted off the island.” Originally the full index of editing controls on the software includes contrast, exposure, highlights, vibrance, shadows, temperature, clarity, sharpen, tint, colour noise reduction, luminance noise reduction, auto tone, auto white balance, whites, and blacks. Moreover, buttons given at the top of the application also have the options of cropping and flipping the pictures.
Although, a few substitutes are available such as iPhoto from Apple and Photosmith, but since the two programmes do not sync with Lightroom therefore a demand a high-end photo editing software has long been felt.
