I've had you for almost a month now said that Adobe released the Photoshop Touch SDK that allows iOS application developers to develop applications that interact with Adobe Photoshop CS5. Then I told you that Adobe Color Lava, Nav and Eazel are 3 applications specially designed for the iPad tablet that will soon be available in the AppStore. These applications would work in tandem with Photoshop and would allow the export of projects started on the iPad tablet directly in Photoshop to be completed.

Today Adobe announced the official launch of these 3 applications which are currently not available in all AppStores. Along with them, Adobe also updated Photoshop to version 12.04, which allows interaction between the iPad and the application on the Mac. Any project on the iPad can be transferred to the Mac in Photoshop using a Wi-Fi connection where the project can be continued and completed. Here is the press release:

The 12.0.4 update enables specially designed apps on tablets, smartphones, and PCs to communicate with and control interaction with Photoshop CS5 (Located in the File menu: Remote Connections). Now you can be creative on other devices and instantly incorporate what you create into Photoshop. You must install the 12.0.4 update to activate a remote connection between Photoshop CS5 and any apps that Adobe or third-party developers create to interact with Photoshop. For example, Photoshop CS5 must be updated to 12.0.4 to interact with three new iPad apps that Adobe has designed to work with it – Adobe Nav, Adobe Color Lava, and Adobe Eazel. Available on the App Store.

Here are some details about the applications.

With Adobe Color Lava, you can use your fingertips to mix colors on your iPad and create custom swatches and five-swatch themes. Instantly access them in Photoshop CS5—all you need is a network connection between your iPad and computer. Or use the app wherever inspiration strikes, and then bring your colors into Photoshop CS5 when you're connected. Share colors via email, too.
