Join artists around the world who are creating beautiful artwork with Adobe Eazel.
As long as you have a network connection between your iPad and your computer, you can send your Adobe Eazel artwork directly to Photoshop CS5 from anywhere.

• Paint beautiful works of art using just your fingertips.
• Mix “wet” and “dry” paint to create rich, realistic color blends. Breakthrough technology allows digital paint to “dry” over time.
• Paint more freely using the entire iPad screen. Controls for changing color, opacity, brush size, and other settings appear only when you place all five fingers on the screen.
• Send your paintings directly to Photoshop CS5, where they’ll be re-rendered at a higher resolution and can be saved in any file format you choose. (Photoshop CS5 must be open, and a network connection between your iPad and your computer is required.)
• Save paintings to your iPad Photos app, and then email them as JPEG files or store them in the Eazel in-app gallery.

Utter ripoff!,,
1 level of undo! How useful is that to a paint app? 1 brush (round), no layers, no brush settings, no paint mixing and the idiots who designed the repetitive stress interface must have been on crack. You have to use all digits to select the menu and either rock your hand around in odd angles to select a single item or raise your hand to place all items on the screen. You must move almost 4 inches on the screen to go from minimum to maximum on brush size or brush opacity. The color picker is a joke! Setting brightness levels with the ring is difficult for fat fingers plus there is no hex or RGB manual input. Saving to internal photos gives no naming prompt. The image size when sent to Photoshop is fixed at 2048x1536 @ 72ppi.
Overall, a company like Adobe should release an app like this for free as it isn't even on par with most other free or 99€ apps. I only give it 1 star because there isn't a negative 5!
Nice watercolor effect
I enjoy the interface design and the watercolor effect. I think it could use more than one undo (at least 3). Sometimes less options helps shift the focus from the app to the idea ... And this program's simplicity is appropriate. It gets out the way. It really is fun to use.
EDIT: since iOS 5 the menu system is buggy, even if I don't drag fingers while accessing menu. Really needs a workaround for the iOS multitouch features added in ios 5. Because I don't think I'll be turning the feature off for this app. Surely there is a fix can be done
*Sigh*...Catch on folks...
I can't help but think of Solitaire when I see these apps. And that no one seems to get it. Maybe I'm wrong but this, along with the other new "Companion" apps, seems to be more about practice than craft. It looks like Adobe is blazing some amazing trails just over the horizon, and this sort of app is to get us ready for it. The tablet is about to change how digital design happens, and we need to adjust our brains and hands to get ready for it. When Microsoft came out with Windows, someone realized that people had a very hard time adjusting to this Mouse thing. Looking at a screen, but shifting a pointer around with a box next to your keyboard. It was tricky and very frustrating for a lot of people, could have killed the OS, or at least the peripheral. But, someone came up with the idea for Solitaire. Give the folks a game to play with this new mouse thing, let them practice in a fun way rather than with the stress of tasks and deadlines smashing into their learning curve. And here we are today, moussing away like pro’s.
And to anyone complaining about the price…Really? This is software that runs several hundred to several thousand dollars per version, and 2 or 10 bucks is a problem? For one; that’s a latte. And for two; If you’re in the business of professional design, this is a very minor expense, up there with paperclips, and if you’re an amateur or hobbyist (I’m slightly lower than either), don’t complain about the cost of the big boy toys, they let anyone buy them, but they are not supposed to be of great value to you if they are not how you make your money. Pretty sure a Racecar costs a lot more than my Toyota, but I don’t think I would complain about that fact if I decided I wanted one to drive around town in.
