Adobe Launches Layout Design App 'Comp CC' for iPad [Video]

Adobe today released Adobe Comp CC, a free iPad app that enables the rapid creation of layout concepts for mobile, Web and print projects.

With Comp CC, designers can start layout-design projects on iPad, creating concepts that incorporate previously created assets and then easily move to the desktop where Adobe applications including Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC and InDesign CC, can be used to create production-quality work.

Place images, headlines, text frames, and shapes with a few swipes of your finger. This lightweight composition app lets you quickly wireframe ideas for print, web, and mobile using actual assets. Finish developing your project in any of our three most popular desktop programs: Adobe InDesign CC, Adobe Photoshop CC, or Adobe Illustrator CC.




FEATURES:
● DIRECT TO YOUR DESKTOP
Export a native file to your choice of InDesign CC, Photoshop CC, or Illustrator CC. It automatically opens on your desktop, letting you effortlessly build on your original idea.

● ONE INFINITE TIMELINE
Projects save as a single file with a limitless history, removing the need for version control. Show your creative process by scrubbing your steps with a 3-finger slide, or rewind to and export from any point in your timeline.

● SIMPLE-TO-USE GESTURES
Explore ideas quickly with a few simple gestures. Drop in lines of placeholder text just by swiping a finger. Trace a quick outline for basic shapes or editable text boxes, and mark it with an X to make an image frame.


● TYPEKIT FONTS
Everyone can browse, preview, and select from over a hundred free, high-quality fonts right within the app. Creative Cloud subscribers are armed with a veritable arsenal.

● MULTI-APP INTEGRATION
Place graphics you’ve created in Photoshop or Illustrator, drawings from Photoshop Sketch and Illustrator Draw, or pull in what you’ve captured in Shape CC and Color CC.

● CREATIVE CLOUD CONNECTED
Import your saved asset collections from Creative Cloud Libraries or ready-made vector graphics and icons from Creative Cloud Market.

● 2GB ONLINE STORAGE
Use of Adobe mobile apps requires a free, basic level of Creative Cloud membership, which includes 2GB of complementary storage for file syncing and sharing.

● STORAGE (Optional in-app purchase)
If you need more than your allotted 2GB of Creative Cloud file storage, you have the option of purchasing an additional 20GB for $1.99 (US dollars) a month. The recurring payment is automatically charged to your iTunes account. To stop service, simply go to your account Settings and turn off auto-renew at least 24-hours before the end of your billing period. Prorating is unavailable—when you turn off auto-renew, service will continue until the end of that month’s billing period.

You can download Adobe Comp CC from the App Store for free.
