“We hear from customers every day about how they enjoy editing Photoshop photos on iPad to get closer to the pixels.” Because precise pixel selection is critical to realistic results, we’ve put a lot of attention into bringing this feature to life on the iPad so it sings with a pen and plays. “
The Chief of Engineering for iPad for Adobe told Clark that “[t]Real-time calculation plugins happen behind the scenes to isolate and select the correct pixels “and that the team worked hard to make it as” possible. “However, they are already working to improve Refine Edge, and will release improvements with the next version.
The company first announced that it would bring Refine Edge to the iPad late last year when it revealed how it plans to improve Photoshop for the platform. Users are not happy with the limited features of the iPad version and have asked for the tools they are used to on the desktop. Since then, Adobe has brought Select iPad, Object Selection, Type Settings and other quality desktop tools to the iPad.
In addition to Refine Edge, Adobe has also introduced a two-finger rotate gesture that allows you to rotate the canvas and zoom at the same time. Rotation can be adjusted to 0, 90, 180, 270 degrees, but you can disable adjustment and rotation in settings.
