Editing “on-the-go” doesn’t have to be rudimentary. Twenty million users agree that the buck doesn’t stop at capturing photos via an iPhone, iPad or Android device, as Photoshop Express has quickly become one of the most popular free apps for organizing, editing and sharing photos on social networking sites like Facebook.

Today, the new Photoshop Express 2.0 software for iOS devices is available for free on the Apple iTunes Store and offers a new Adobe Camera Pack for (US$3.99) in-app purchase. The Camera Pack gives anyone the ability to achieve high quality results like the pros and solves many of the common problems associated with capturing photos via a device. The Camera Pack removes the “noise” – the grain and speckling – most often caused by camera phones, enhancing it and making the photo much clearer. A Self Timer can be set to three or 10-second intervals to control when the photo is snapped to capture just the right moment. And Auto Review helps users quickly review a shot and decide –in the moment- if they want to delete or re-take it. The Adobe Camera Pack enhances the new camera workflow that debuted in Photoshop Express 1.5 for iOS and enabled customers to continuously and rapidly shoot photos directly in the app.

Photoshop Express 2.0 for iOS is available worldwide in English for free download from the iTunes store. For more information check out Jordan Davis’- senior product manager for Photoshop Web and Mobile – blog post.

We’re excited to announce the next release of Adobe’s end-to-end suite for technical communicators –Adobe Technical Communication Suite 3. The suite lets technical writers, help authors and instructional designers author, enrich, manage, review and “single-click” publish technical information in multiple languages and formats, and to multiple devices.

Included with this release are completely updated versions of the core products –Adobe FrameMaker 10 (template-based authoring/publishing) and Adobe RoboHelp 9 (help and knowledgebase authoring/publishing). The suite is rounded out with Adobe Captivate 5, Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

The team has been working hard to incorporate compelling customer feedback. We’ve heard time and again that our customers’ end users are demanding richer, more dynamic and increasingly interactive content. To that end, Technical Communication Suite 3 offers several workflow improvements and usability enhancements. Authors can easily include 3D models, training demos and simulations in their projects and build in access to external sources such as Google search results, blogs, wikis and forums. The software now supports more than 45 video and audio formats and outputs comment- and rating-enabled documentation, driving engagement by encouraging response.

Significantly improved, Technical Communication 3 will help end the long reign of static documentation – our tools are building the next generation of content that will ultimately solve consumer problems.

A special Adobe TV broadcast airs today, in honor of the 20th anniversary of Photoshop. We got “the band” (the original four on the Photoshop team) back together again for the first time in 18 years to, to discuss their early work on the software and demonstrate Photoshop 1.0 on a rebuilt Macintosh computer.
