Adobe Carousel: A Revolutionary Mobile Editing Application
As we speak, Adobe is familiar with as you are using so we're using that same technology under the H to enable these image adjustments right here. So I've got a full set of Sliders for things like exposure and contrast and white balance, those are just at the top level, I can tunnel down and get more control over things like highlights and shadows, and the really cool thing is here let's let's just do something with this we'll do something crazy like turn the exposure way up and then hit apply. So that's just made that change and then looking at the same photo here on on the Mac it looks just as horrible as I made it look on on the iPad a second ago.
If I'm a Lightroom for a Photoshop user, I can use it on my Mac from the adjustment I made on the iPad sorry if I also use Lightroom I also use Photoshop. I can then continue to work on that image on my computer that I've adjusted on on my iPad. Oh I see so right now Carousel is the application that you use on the desktop. Okay um one of the new features in Lightroom Core which is going to be released soon, I think, is that it can export images into excellent, so you're Adobe is seeing the I guess the expansion of mobile device usage and this is how your someone might want to just work on their iPad right that's right.
I'm the the product manager for this and this is this is the coolest project to work on because from my perspective we're the ones approaching this space, the Multi-Device space, the way everybody's going to have to do it. I think people have been trained with um email to be able to whip out any device and do their email and so sometimes it's a desktop sometimes it's a tablet sometimes it's a smartphone now they're expecting the same kinds of flexibility and capabilities from every single do it when they want to do it, they don't have to wait and go back to their computer or do it on someone else's schedule.
That's right. I mean you don't know how many people I've heard tell me you know i' I've got this giant photo library but it's on my desktop and I often I'm tired from work and I don't want to sit at a desk anymore, I want to hold this one feed up on the sofa nice beverage maybe and you're editing your photo exactly exactly. So here we are with the the first one to do it in in the space.
How are you how do you feel about the performance on mobile devices? They give you kind of kind of Ed image editing ility happy with you know, it's um it's certainly an area that we have spent a lot of time on because the mobile devices they come with Hardware constraints that just don't exist on the desktop. So what we've done on on this project is we're taking that camera raw engine um for jpegs and we've optimized it to run really well. So we combine that with um what we call this Cloud mesh technology that uses a combination of Originals for your images and then Renditions that include all of the image adjustments that that you done.
So we take up as little slos of storage space as possible, we only pull down as many bits as we need at any given time, with that kind of combination of of architecture and Technology we've got something that works pretty well. Your demo flies I mean you don't see any sort of hesitation the effects are very fast a very good experience yeah.
One of the one of the things I like to do is um import a bunch of photos of clients and you drop 100 photos in there and then watch them here instantly, here this works over Wi-Fi and 3G so the controls look good. I mean people on a computer that used to Pixel Perfect Mouse pointer adjustments but you're doing a lot of stuff with gestures on an iPad.
That's right. So here let me bring up this image again and let's actually revert to original, so we've always got your original, you can always go back um, but you can zoom in here one to one and no matter how big your image was, you know you had a 20 megapixel or or even bigger image, you can zoom in in one to one here. So it's pretty cool.
You know being able to interact with your photo that way while you're also being able to adjust things, you can see very subtle variations in a way that you can't do that stuff and if you just want to use this on the web, you want to send it out over an email, you need to make a few quick fixes, you can do it right on the device, and you done.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis is Renee from imore.com we're at CES 2012 and I'm talking to Sumer from Adobe about Adobe carousel on the iPad hi hi how you doing good so Adobe Carousel it is the first ofit kind application that brings your whole photo library to the tablet to the phone right here and to your Mac to the desktop and what makes Carousel different from a lot of other applications in the space is that we've got non-destructive image processing that runs across devices and you said it plugs into the same sort of camera raw engine that Lightroom and products were already familiar with as you are using so we we're using that same technology under the H to enable these image adjustments right here so I've got a full set of Sliders for things like exposure and contrast and white balance those are just at the top level I can tunnel down and get more control over things like highlights and shadows and the really cool thing is here let's let's just do
