Adobe Photoshop for iPad is real and will work ‘seamlessly’ with the desktop version

Digital Camera World:

Adobe’s dream is that you will be able to open and edit a PSD (Photoshop format image file) on an iPad and then carry on working on it seamlessly on your desktop computer, or the other way round. This would be a major step forward, avoiding the need to export/import files, convert them to different formats or overcome inconsistencies in tools and effects.

The company’s engineers have already carried out ‘proof of life’ experiments using the same underlying Photoshop code and algorithm’s on an iPad and are now ready to launch a 1.0 version for Apple’s tablet devices.

This is one of those “I’ll believe it when I see it” stories but if it is true, it will be an amazing leap in functionality for many Photoshoppers who want to use their iPads to edit.
