Some styluses incorporate pressure sensitivity, which is important since iPads do not natively build in this capability the way pro graphics displays do. But the developers say the commands also work fine with other Mac graphics programs, and you can customize them as needed.Īstropad has been designed to work with popular stylus models such as Adonit’s $30 Jot Pro, Wacom’s Bamboo line, and FiftyThree’s $50 Pencil. You can zoom in with controls on the Mac or on the iPad.Ĭustomized Photoshop controls work well out of the gate, including a floating pallette with Adobe-specific tools on the right side of the iPad screen. (to bad I don't own an Apple computer just an iPad so I can't use it anyway)Īlso for your info: The iPad 2 is the ONLY apple Product I have, Not a fan of they're products.The Astropad software on the Mac shows which part of your image is editable on the iPad’s screen.
This has its uses & is more limited than a "real" tablet, but it sure as hell beats using my computer mouse so I would gladly use this. If a tablet was affordable with a screen for me, I would use it. It is good enough since Lightroom does not rely on "how much pressure are you using" When you want to do quick work for example to take away the background or do spot removal or brush a bit? Yes I own an iPad, the iPad 2, I am NOT going to buy a new tablet every year.Īnd YES the iPad is inferior to a Wacom tablet that costs thousands of dollars, but to be honest? I love reading the idiotic comments here "the ipad sucks, i cant wait for the ipad defender army to come here to attack us because they are such a**holes & we are not despite us attacking anyone who owns an iPad. The iPad app can be downloaded free form the App Store and the Mac companion app can be purchased for $49.99 at A $19.99 educational version is also available and you can make use of the 7 day trial before you hit the purchase button. Astropad also claims the system delivers excellent image quality without any compression artifacts and colors that are true to the source material.Īstropad supports all iPads with iOS 8 and all Macs with 10.9 (Mavericks) or a newer operating system. LIQUID allows for very smooth operation at 60 fps which is double the rate of Apple's own AirPlay technology.
The Astropad works with most styluses and its makers claim their system is being used by photographers not only for retouching and image editing, but is also useful for illustration, sketching and painting tasks.Īstropad works via Wi-Fi or USB connections using the proprietary LIQUID technology. Two former Apple engineers have today launched Astropad, an app for Apple's iPad and Mac computer that turns the former into a drawing tablet for the latter and allows you to use applications such as Photoshop with more precision.
