Adobe Unveils Graphic Design App for iOS

You know software company Adobe for its ubiquitous Photoshop program, so you would bet that a graphic design app from the same developers has to be pretty good, right? Well, some folks do touch up their photos before posting it up, but for the less design savvy, Adobe might have just the thing for you – in the form of an app known as Adobe Post.

Lightroom Mobile 2.1 for iOS adds support for the iPad Pro and multi-tasking in iOS 9.

According to Adobe, Post was developed in response to feedback from organizations such as small businesses, non-profits, and entrepreneurs looking for a simpler way to create professional-looking graphics to support their social media campaigns without having to hire graphic design teams.

Most recently, Facebook Messenger updated its iOS app with 3D Touch, letting users choose from a quick-select menu and jump directly into a message thread with the three most recent contacts that they have been chatting with, or create a new thread entirely.

Magic Text, meanwhile, allows users to apply different typographical settings to image text.

Most-read articles Lightroom Mobile displays images synchronized with the Lightroom desktop app and includes its own editing, rating and flagging tools.

Post’s special sauce is the algorithmic way in which it intelligently changes the layout of the text as you change the font and resize/reshape the bounding box and its ability to pull multiple choices of coordinating palettes and text/text background color options from a photo.

In addition to all of these major new features, we’ve added a bunch of little enhancements and improvements throughout the app. We’re continuing to work hard to come up with new, fun features that make mobile photography even more enjoyable, and look forward to sharing those new features with you in the new year.

The newly-launched Adobe Post is a features-loaded, responsive social media tool which is now available only for the Apple iPhone.

Adobe also suggests the app can be used for a number of other purposes, like event invitations, blog banners, email newsletter graphics, business graphics, album covers and more. It seems all we need these days is an iPhone.
