Photoshop Fix

October 14, 2015 - Adobe , Mobile Apps - by Mark - No Comments

Adobe recently (October 5, 2015) released a new iOS app called Photoshop Fix. I have been experimenting with this tool for a while and find it very helpful for quick edits to images using just my iPad. Of course, for more complex edits, one can always share the image from […]

Displaying your tablet on a desktop

September 30, 2015 - Apple , General , Mobile Apps , Technology - by Mark - No Comments

Although I have made several prior weblog posts on this topic, I thought it might be appropriate to revisit this in light of iOS 9 and Windows 10 being generally available. For reference purposes, here are two of the prior posts I have made on this topic. Reflection (and more) […]

Chicago reflections

July 24, 2015 - Mobile Apps , Travel - by Mark - No Comments

I recently came across a new app for iOS devices called Vibe. It allows you to make slideshows with music from items in your camera roll. Given that I was recently in Chicago for SCUP, I thought it might be fun to create a couple of Vibe related slideshows. These […]

Adobe Preview CC

July 8, 2015 - Adobe , Mobile Apps , Technology - by Mark - No Comments

In addition to Hue, Adobe also released Preview CC for iOS devices on June 15. I thought readers of this blog might be interested in a short overview of the capabilities of this app. Essentially, you develop your design comp (for either a mobile app or a mobile website) in […]

Adobe Hue

July 1, 2015 - Adobe , Mobile Apps , Technology - by Mark - No Comments

Adobe released another app for iOS devices on June 15. This one is called Hue. In some ways, it is like the app Color (formerly Kuler). But it works for video. Essentially, you take a photo and select the desired color which you can then apply to a video clip […]

What I like about Adobe Acrobat DC

April 22, 2015 - Adobe , Mobile Apps , Technology - by Mark - No Comments

Adobe recently released a significant update to Acrobat. When I first opened the tool [viewing a PDF document], I saw the following (and felt a bit overwhelmed). Note the changes to the interface, particularly the options on the right for the given document. Wow. There are a lot more options. […]

Fixel

February 18, 2015 - Adobe , Mobile Apps - by Mark - No Comments

Fixel is an iOS app from Adobe Labs which runs on either iPad or iPhone. Sorry, no Android capabilities. Many thanks to my colleague, Matt Clasener, for making me aware of this app. Essentially, it allows you to clean up your images (remove unwanted litter from a photo, for example). […]

PaintCan

I recently became aware of an interesting app from Adobe Labs – PaintCan. Many thanks to Tom Green for making me aware of this iOS app (sorry, no Android version). For those of us with limited graphical talent, we can now paint using just our fingertip. We can work with […]

PhoneGap Build

December 10, 2014 - Adobe , Mobile Apps , Web - by Mark - No Comments

I have made a number of weblog posts on PhoneGap, PhoneGap Build and Dreamweaver in the past (just use the search box on this page and look for PhoneGap to see those entries). However, there have been a number of changes to the default templates with the release of Dreamweaver […]

Pebble first look

December 3, 2014 - Mobile Apps , Wearable Tech - by Mark - 1 Comment

I recently purchased a Pebble. This is my first entry into wearable technology (excluding smartphones of course). The market for these devices seems to be maturing more each day. The price was right ($99 US). As I also mentioned at our November Web Professionals and Adobe User Group meeting, a […]

Adobe Premiere Clip

November 26, 2014 - Adobe , Mobile Apps , Technology - by Mark - No Comments

As we approach the holidays, I thought it might be appropriate to cover one of the relatively new Adobe apps – Adobe Clip (aka Adobe Premiere Clip). This was released along with a host of other apps on October 6, 2014. I previously covered these briefly in a weblog post. […]

Latest Adobe apps

October 8, 2014 - Adobe , Mobile Apps , Technology - by Mark - No Comments

A large number of enhancements were featured in the initial keynote at AdobeMAX on Monday, October 6. Since there were such a large number of enhancements and new features, I thought I would focus on the mobile apps [there were a number of new apps (and enhancements to existing apps)]. […]

Luca

September 24, 2014 - Mobile Apps , Technology - by Mark - No Comments

Periodically, I come across something unexpected while searching for resources for my classes. I have been testing out one such app (iPad only – sorry Android). It is called Project Luca. I thought it might be worth mentioning this to others. I have plans to incorporate this into our CMWEB […]

Photoshop Mix

September 17, 2014 - Adobe , Mobile Apps , Technology - by Mark - No Comments

At our September Web Professionals and Adobe User Group meeting, Brian Anderson gave an excellent presentation on his Raspberry Pi Bramble (clustered computers). After the meeting, we had a follow on discussion about the need to teach how to develop applications to run on multiple computers at once. We also […]

Mobizen

July 30, 2014 - Mobile Apps , Technology - by Mark - 9 Comments

Periodically, I have the need to display the contents of mobile devices on my laptop. Some time ago, I published a note on the Reflection app for iOS devices. At that time, I had to put together a kludge to display the contents of Android devices on my Mac. I […]
