[Adobe Creative Suite 5.5] [Male] Adobe has announced Creative Suite 5.5, along with 3 companion apps for Photoshop CS5 software that are designed to help your creativity go mobile. [Photoshop CS5] [Nav, Color Lava, Eazel] [Adobe Nav for Photoshop] Adobe Nav for Photoshop allows you to tap and swipe your iPad screen to activate Photoshop tools, browse open documents and more. [Adobe Eazel for Photoshop] Adobe Eazel for Photoshop allows you to use your iPad canvas to create beautiful paintings, mixing and blending colors with wet and dry paint and access them in Photoshop. [Adobe Color Lava for Photoshop] Adobe Color Lava for Photoshop allows you to use your fingertips to mix colors on your iPad like a painter's palette to create custom color themes and swatches. These companion apps are designed to work right out of the box with Photoshop CS5.1 version 12.1 which comes with Creative Suite 5.5. For users using Photoshop CS5 version 12.0, which came with Creative Suite CS5, there's a free update to version 12.0.4, which is required to enable these companion apps to connect to Photoshop. [Photoshop CS5 (12.0.4)] The free 12.0.4 update for Photoshop CS5 is available through a software update you can install from Photoshop. [Nav, Color Lava, Eazel] The Adobe Photoshop Touch Apps will be available through the Apple App Store. [Updating Photoshop CS5 to 12.0.4] To install the required update for Photoshop CS5, launch Photoshop and choose "Help, Updates," which launches the Adobe Application Manager. Click "Update" to install the 12.0.4 update for Photoshop CS5. Enter your administrator user name and password, if necessary, to finish the install. After you've installed the update, you can confirm that you have the 12.0.4 update by selecting "About Photoshop" from the Photoshop menu on Mac, or from the Help menu on Windows. The version is displayed in the Photoshop splash screen. [Setting up Remote Connections] In order for the companion apps to connect to Photoshop, we need to first enable remote connections. In Photoshop, select "Edit, Remote Connections" to bring up the remote connections dialog. Enter a service name of your choice, and create a password that is longer than 6 characters.
