Adobe has launched a set of six Adobe Touch Apps for tablets. The most important one for most of us will be Adobe Photoshop Touch:

This will be available in November with iOS availability in early 2012.

Editing RAW files is very compute intensive and modern tablets are obviously much much slower than laptops / desktops in pure number crunching terms.

Unless Adobe has worked some sort of magic I can't see RAW editing being a very productive experience on a tablet.

According to the specs Honeycomb 3.1 is minimum required OS.

And what about lightroom?

^ Lightroom is completely diffferent.

Photoshop touch has a maximum of 1600 x 1600 pixels

Maybe the ipad 2 version will add more features being more powerful than your average tegra 2 Honeycomb tab (but only 512mb grrr)

...but this is just the start, over the next year there'll be much more powerful tabs for Adobe leverage. A Lightroom touch app will certainly be on the cards, esp if full layer control/select tools etc aren't needed.

Some more vids.
