Co.Design | business + design: Adobe has been trying to translate its mouse- and keyboard-dependent software into bite-sized apps for iPhone and iPad touch screens. Its latest app, Adobe Brush (free for iOS now), is a fun new example that lets you digitize physical textures.

Well this is something that I definitely have to get my hands on. The methods and tools that Adobe has developed to work with brushes and tools is amazingly useful and great. And the sync between tablet and desktop is great and I can see countless applications for my photoshop class. I'm curious to see how well it actually translates objects into brushes and how well the extension of the brushes and objects are.
This is a very cool app. It takes the power that is behind some of Adobe more complicated and expensive products and its puts it in a user friendly tablet device. I think that I could be very helpful when having to make renderings as well as just messing around. Also since more and more people have iPads more and more people will be able to use this app. I will defiantly download it and see how it works.
This is so cool! The usual brushes that come with this kind of app are pretty limited. I like that this is so much more easy to customize and use to your advantage. Not only for silly things like Coke cans and flowers, but for actual brush strokes that the artist knows how to create in real life. I think this will make digital art more accessible and easy for artists who are scared to "not ready" to try digital as a media for their work. I don't know how well this program works, but if it performs the tasks it say it does well, than you can sign me up for it!
Personally I think this app it is great. It gives people access to explore their inner artist when they could not be near any materials to express themselves. What a difference it makes that this app is free. And what a smart marketing tool this is for adobe. Not only does it get a person interested in adobe as a company but it is a great training ground for getting people into understanding the world of Photoshop. This is nothing more than one tool taken right out of Photoshop turned into a stand alone app. With the fact that adobe now is pushing their subscription series for their software, this app only helps in their favor. While I personal find this app's sentiment to be spot on, what this app does graphically saddens me as an artist. Personally I feel it is only good for creating interesting backgrounds and borders, but maybe I am too close minded at this time to see the apps full artist potential.
How exciting!! I can see how this can be useful in doing mock-ups and design work in Photoshop since it allows you to grab a real texture and apply it as a brush. It's also great that it was developed for iPads and iPhones as well. So versatile! I wonder what the limitations are for these brushes though. Are there certain textures that don't read as well to the program? Are there ways the user can better manipulate the brush? I am excited to see how designers and other digital artists will utilize this tool. I definitely want to take a try with it.
This seems like a really powerful tool with a lot of great potential uses. I think the capabilities of the adobe brushes are basically limitless and its a very natural way for people to express themselves. I think this app helps solve many of the problems that ive had with brushes in other adobe programs though. I've always seen the potential, but they are so cumbersome to navigate that it limits creatively what I am able to express. The natural intelligence and the ease of use that is built into this app solves both of those problems
This looks like so much fun. Adobe has been doing a great job of making artistic apps that remain dynamic despite being on a phone or a tablet. This app in particular would be a lot of fun to play around with and put into practice all of the elements of design we have been learning about in class on a small scale. I am curious to see how useful it would be in a school project or in a professional environment.
