By William Fenton Tweet 
Fresh off last week's release of Creative Suite 5.5, Adobe today released three Photoshop companion apps for iPad.
Available now in the App Store for purchase, Adobe Eazel, Nav, and Color Lava cost between $1.99 and $4.99 and require Adobe Photoshop CS5 (v12.0.4).
Until the release of Creative Suite 5.5, which added iPad support to Photoshop, Adobe customers haven't been able to take advantage of integration. All that changes today.
The most expensive app, Adobe Eazel ($4.99) lets customers paint with their fingertips, with support for both "wet" and "dry" paints. Users can send their iPad-based paintings to Photoshop CS5 for additional composting.
With Adobe Color Lava ($2.99), creative professionals can mix colors by hand to create custom swatches and themes?those, too, can be transferred back to Photoshop for desktop use.Finally, customers can use their iPad as a wireless input surface using Adobe Nav ($1.99). This includes creating new files, opening existing files, and accessing (16) frequently used Photoshop tools. The prospect of using your iPad as second screen for Photoshop is sure to attract further developer attention.
Thanks to Adobe's new Photoshop Touch software development kit, which allows developers to create mobile apps that interoperate with Photoshop, these companion applications represent the first batch of apps with the promise of many more to come. While the first three products are iPad-exclusive, the development platform isn't limited to iOS. A new scripting engine, Adobe Photoshop Touch SDK, opens the platform to both Android and Blackberry tablets.
