Adobe Brings Photoshop Touch to the iPad, Adobe Photoshop Express
Adobe Brings Photoshop Touch to the iPad
By Lance Ulanoff For Mashable
BARCELONA: Adobe Photoshop Express is a great, free and highly usable iOS app for quickly fixing up your digital photos, but it pales in comparison to the desktop version of Photoshop. Last year Adobe introduced a solution: Photoshop Touch, but chose to bring it to the Android Tablet market first. Now, as promised, Adobe is finally bringing that powerful image editing capability to Apple‘s iPad 2. The company will announce the new app today in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress.
Editor’s note: This story was intended to be confidential until 9 p.m. Pacific Time on Sunday night, but 9 to 5 Mac broke that embargo, so that’s why we’re publishing this story early.
For $9.99, iPad 2 owners (sorry, there’s currently no iPad 1 support) get the ability to work in layers, use “sophisticated” selection tools and “scribble” over images to remove unwanted portions. Users will also be able to touch up photos, paint over them and create new layouts. The new app is part of Adobe’s upcoming suite of iPad “Touch” Apps. “Inspired by Adobe’s Creative Suite,” the apps include:
Adobe Collage; Adobe Debut presentation software; Adobe Ideas, which will be similar to the Illustrator vector-based desktop drawing software; Adobe Kuler color theme manager; and website- prototyping and wireframe tool Adobe Proto. Adobe said these remaining apps will launch for iOS later this year and will all work with Adobe’s Creative Cloud services.
Other features in Adobe Touch for iPad include the ability to share to Facebook directly from the app, search, using Google, from within the app, apply sophisticated image effects, and even use your tablet’s built-in camera to fill in portions of your image project.
“Photoshop Touch combines the magic of Photoshop and its core features with the convenience of a tablet, bringing image-editing power to the fingertips of millions of people,” said David Wadhwani, Adobe’s Digital Media Business Unit senior vice president and general manager.
Adobe’s Photoshop Touch requires iOS 5 and will be available in the App Store on Monday, February 27. Although 9 to 5 Mac reported it was available now in New Zealand and Australia, the app has since been removed from the App Store, set to become available worldwide on Monday. The 9 to 5 Mac site also reported some of its readers saying the iPad 2 version “works better than the Android version.”
Will you pay nearly $10 for this tablet-based image editing app, or are instant effects-generators and editors like Instagram and Adobe Express sufficient for your image-editing needs? Let us know in the comments.

Microsoft Launches Kinect for Windows SDK
Microsoft Launches Kinect for Windows SDK
February 1, 2012 10:31am EST
February 1, 2012 10:31am EST
Microsoft on Wednesday released its Kinect for Windows 1.0 SDK, which is intended to take the Kinect sensor technology beyond entertainment and use it for things like healthcare.
At this point, the offering is focused more on businesses than consumers, but the idea is to have these companies or developers create Kinect-based products that will eventually hit the market or be used in the service industry.
The Kinect for Windows SDK is available for download now. Hardware is also shipping, but it will set you back $249; a $149 academic version is expected later this year. At this point, it's launching in 12 countries to start (United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, and the United Kingdom).
Microsoft first discussed the Kinect for Windows commercial program in November, and the program was one of only two announcements made during Steve Ballmer's recent (and last) CES keynote. Microsoft is already working with more than 200 partners, like United Health Group, Toyota, Telefonica, Mattel, American Express, and more, Ballmer said.
A beta version of Kinect for Windows was also released last year, and Microsoft today promised a variety of improvements to the program, from support for up to four Kinect sensors attached to the same computer to improve skeletal tracking.
Microsoft said it will release updates to its SDK and runtime about two to three times per year. "In fact, the team is already hard at work on the next release," said Craig Eisler, general manager of Kinect for Windows.
"Microsoft's ability to make these kinds of deep investments makes Kinect for Windows a product that companies can deploy with confidence, knowing you have our support and our ongoing commitment to make Kinect for Windows the best it can be," Eisler said.
Earlier this week, meanwhile, The Daily reported that it had seen what appeared to be two Asus laptops with a Kinect sensor built in, arrayed along the top of the screen.

The Dirty Picture Review
The Dirty Picture Review
Story: Reshma ( Vidya Balan), a small town girl with dreams of stardom in her eyes, sets out for Chennai, with nothing but her passion to stir her on. After the usual period of struggle and rejections, she gets her break as an item girl who's got the most sensuous moves in town. It doesn't take her long to storm the box office as Silk, the sex symbol who's driving a whole generation crazy with her oomph. The industry too can't stay immune to her earthy charms and her list of worshipers -- and lovers -- keeps multiplying, until it's downhill time. Will simpleton Silk be able to survive the rigours of a heartless work place that discards faster than it accepts?
Movie Review: All she had was her well endowed body, her in-your-face sexuality, her seductive moves and her rock hard confidence to carry her through a world that was more than willing to exploit a lone woman, seeking sustenance in a man's world. That was enough to transform Reshma into Silk, a storm that refused to be quelled by anything or anybody. Determined to take on the industry single-handedly and carve a niche for herself as a sex symbol in a hypocritical world, Silk was the steroid shot that sent the world in a tizzy. Journalists and holier-than-thou art film makers like Abraham (Emraan Hashmi), hysterical women's groups and the ubiquitous moral police branded her the scum of the earth. But her legion fans were ready to lay their lives for her and the industry heroes, like Suryakant ( Naseeruddin Shah) couldn't keep their eyes and hands off her. One dirty picture followed another and name, fame and success peaked to unimaginable heights for our girl from nowhere who unabashedly lived out her dreams. Her survival policy: savour the bouquets, ignore the brickbats. Life was literally on song.
So where did the problem lie? It lay in the duplicity of a world which was hungering for sex, but was ashamed to acknowledge this primordial need. So that, serenading Silk was okay in the darkness of the auditorium or behind closed bedroom doors. But accepting her as part of the social pecking order was taboo, for Silk, in a sick society, was a synonym for dirt. Did Silk care? Of course, she did, although she gave the impression she gave a damn to the moral custodians and the double standards of society. But reality began to pinch -- and really hurt -- when her mother shut the door on her face, journalists, hungry for her interview otherwise, refused to entertain her in their page 3 parties and her lover (Naseeruddin Shah), who a minute ago was showering her with compliments, shunted her to the bathroom when his wife unexpectedly arrived. She tried to hide her pain through binge drinking and by changing her lovers ( Tusshar Kapoor), but the sense of rejection just refused to go away.
Partially responsible for her angst too was the arrogance that stars acquire with the onrush of success. One by one, she began to lose her friends in the industry and work stopped coming her way due to her cocky attitude. Didn't take long for the superstar to hit the road to destruction and end up as a sorry picture of failure and ruin. In this decrepit state -- the fate of most erstwhile Bollywood heroines -- her only friend was the man who hated her the most, Emraan Hashmi. But was it already too late to resuscitate a broken soul....
The Dirty Picture is essentially Vidya Balan's film, all the way. She gives a towering performance as the protagonist who remains unapologetic about her life till the very end. The high point of her act is the fact that despite portraying a sex bomb, her sexuality never ever gets vulgar and crude. Instead, there is an endearing quality to her attempts to shock and awe a staid society that thrives on the fake. Her tour de force act however doesn't throw the male leads into the shadows. They manage to hold their own in full measure, despite the relative meagerness of their roles. Also, it is the naughty dialogues (Rajat Arora) of the film which add immense flavour to the proceedings. It's a no-holds-barred screenplay which rightly refuses to treat sex as a four letter word. Kudos to Milan Luthria for handling such a controversial theme with such sensitivity and boldness.
The Dirty Picture is definitely not only your film for the week, but is a seminal work that will be studied in feminist discourses.
