Adobe Asks If You Want PSD Viewing on the iPad

John Nack, an Adobe developer, is asking if you would like the ability to view Photoshop PSD files on the iPad.

I'm switching my focus from Photoshop to the development of tablet apps. I periodically hear requests for the ability to view Photoshop PSD files on devices like the iPad (for example, browsing files that one has synced via Dropbox).

Nack suggests answering some of the following questions:

● What would you hope to accomplish? For example:
o Would you be bringing your portfolio on the road?
o Would you be taking the files somewhere to print them?
● Would viewing just a flat representation of the files be sufficient, or would you want to interact with layers (for example, to switch among layer comps in order to show design iterations)?
● Would you pay for such a capability? If so, how much?

This is obviously a capability that Adobe could build. The question of course is whether we should build it (as opposed, say, to building something else).
