In-Stock alert: Photoshop for iPad (with 30-day free trial)

UPDATE: thanks to one of our readers for the alert ~ there’s a limited time Creative Cloud promotion that includes the Photoshop for iPad. Link coming later as I don’t have the email account on this device.

We have an in-stock alert of the iTunes App store kind! Apple has officially released Photoshop for iPad on iTunes with a 30-day free trial. After that they offer a $10/month subscription. This only includes the iPad iOS app, not the desktop versions of Photoshop. Otherwise it would have been major cannibilization of Adobe’s $$$profits$$$. A lot of the iTunes reviewers don’t appear to be very happy with the current version.

Note that only select iPads are supported, namely various PRO models, the Air 2, 5th generation iPad and the Mini 4. Also supported are the first two versions of the Apple Pencil. Looking at the compatibility list, the iPad line-up has become spaghetti without sauce 😉
