Still, Photoshop remains one of the few must-have applications for digital media professionals. That kind of price pressure explains why Adobe has been pushing so hard to build up its digital marketing business. In February, Adobe released Photoshop Touch, a $10 version of its $700 image-editing app for Apple's iPad that is now competing with Apple's $5 iPhoto app for iPhone and iPad. The future that's probably of more concern to Adobe is one in which software is sold through platform-owner portals, such as Apple's iTunes App Store. Howe characterizes Photoshop CS6 as an effort to refocus attention on application UI and design, and to lay the foundation for a future in which graphics processing chips are more widely used. "The technology, industry, and our customers' needs are always changing, and so we try to approach things with a fresh perspective." "While there are aspects of each release that are the same, such as hitting key milestones, every version brings with it something new," he observed in a blog post. Since its debut in 1990, Photoshop has received major revisions over a dozen times, but David Howe, Adobe director of engineering for Photoshop, insists the update process hasn't become a rote activity.
