Adobe adds Content-Aware Fill, background removal and portrait selection features to Photoshop for iPad

by Leave a Comment

Adobe has announced a new update for Photoshop on the iPad that brings with it some significant features. It now has Content-Aware Fill, Remove Background, as well as Select Subject designed specifically for people and tricky hair selections. There’s also a new font browser, along with Auto-tone, colour and contrast features.

Photoshop for the iPad was initially launched in 2019, and Adobe says they’ve been working hard to add more of the desktop features we know and love to the mobile version ever since. Obviously, this takes some time to adjust the application from a mouse-based UI to a finger-based touchscreen one and this year they’ve been focusing on adding as many one-tap features to the arsenal as possible.

For the iPad the Healing Brush and Magic Wand tools you know and love from Photoshop for Desktop have finally arrived.

Capture One is coming to an iPad near you “by early 2022”

Capture One recently announced an update that afforded the app with native support for Apple M1 desktops and MacBooks. And now that the M1-based iPads are here, Capture One has also announced via Instagram that they’ll be releasing a version for the iPad next year.

The Instagram post explains that the app is currently in development and that the company is “hard at work” to bring it to us. It’s expected to come “by early 2022” but beyond that, there isn’t anything specific just yet. I expect, however, this will only be for M1 based iPads, and not those that utilise the Apple A chips.tt

These are the photo editing apps that are collecting and tracking your private data

by 16 Comments

When we think of online privacy, we typically think of social media, editing, browsing or shopping apps that open our private lives up to the potential world. Or, at least to advertisers. But these aren’t the only things we should be worried about, as this report by the folks at Surfshark illustrates.

Amongst the eighteen types of apps that Surfshark looked into, including social media, shopping, streaming, dating, and various others they delved into image editing apps. And the amount of data that each one captures might surprise you. For example, did you know that VSCO tracks your search history and wants the info on all your contacts?

M1 iPad Pro benchmarks show performance beating a high-end i9 MacBook Pro

by 2 Comments

Apple’s recently announced M1 iPad Pro has gotten a lot of people excited, and for quite good reason. Apple’s M1 chips have shown some impressive performance gains in MacBooks and Mac Minis since their release, especially as more applications release native support for the new CPUs. But the iPad Pro has become a preferred way of working for many creatives.

The M1 iPad Pro orders should start arriving at customers homes in the next couple of weeks, but some early benchmarks have hit Geekbench and the results seem to back up Apple’s claim that the iPad Pro is up to 50% faster than the previous generation. IT even shows performance that beats the 16″ MacBook Pro with an Intel Core i9 processor!

The Rode VideoMic NTG is now fully compatible with your iPhone or iPad’s lightning port

by Leave a Comment

The most hotly debated topic I see about iPhones isn’t how good (or bad) the cameras are, but it’s still the fact that they removed the headphone jack, like 5 generations ago. Some have come to terms with it, although it can make things a little difficult for those iPhone filmmakers who want to use external microphones. Well, it’s getting a little easier as of today.

Rode has announced that the Rode VideoMic NTG is now fully compatible with all lightning-equipped iOS devices. The VideoMic NTG is now officially MFi-certified and you just need the new Rode SC15 Type-C USB to Apple Lightning cable (and a firmware update) to make it all work.
