Adobe Shows Off Photoshop for iPad With Layer Support

As covered by Photography Bay, Adobe yesterday used its keynote address at Photoshop World 2011 to briefly show off a new concept for a Photoshop app for iPad offering support for layers, a significant leap beyond the capabilities found in the company's current Photoshop Express app.

Photography Bay has also posted a brief video of the demo showing how layers can be used on the iPad.


The functionality remains a demo concept with no word on when or if it will make it to a public launch, but Adobe has openly acknowledged that it is looking at ways to support more complex Photoshop functionalities on tablets such as the iPad, and has even shown off concepts for how some of those tools might be implemented.
