Adobe Unveils Carousel for iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and Mac OS

September 8, 2011: Adobe has released details of a new set of client apps for iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and Mac OS desktops known as Adobe Carousel.
Using photo-processing technology based on Photoshop Lightroom, Carousel is designed for users who require needs a simple way to view, browse, adjust and share them without worrying about manual syncing or storage. It uses cloud-based smart mesh technology to make uploaded images automatically accessible on any supported device. Once imported, any edits, deletions or additions to the library made on one device are automatically updated across all devices linked with the account.

Setting up Adobe Carousel is easy. Customers will just download the apps, set up a subscription plan on their iPhone and iPad, and they are ready to go. Subscribers can import a virtually unlimited number of JPEG files, and install Adobe Carousel apps on as many of their compatible devices as they want.
The Adobe Carousel apps will be available through the iTunes App Store and for Mac later this month. Versions for Windows and other devices are expected in the first half of 2012.
According to the company’s US press release, Adobe plans to offer Adobe Carousel to customers for a special introductory price of US$59.99/year or US$5.99/month for subscribers who sign up before 31 January 2012. Local pricing for Adobe Carousel has yet to be determined and we don’t know whether or not it will be substantially higher (as with other Adobe products purchased in Australia) or the same as the US price (which would be fair given the current high $A). We’ll keep you posted.
Introductory subscribers will be able to renew at the same price for an additional two years. At the conclusion of the introductory offer, Adobe Carousel will be US$99.99/year or US$9.99/month. By subscribing, customers automatically receive any enhancements and updates to Adobe Carousel at no additional charge. Customers receive a complimentary subscription for up to 30 days and can purchase a monthly or yearly subscription at any time from their iPad or iPhone.
Customers can download and install the Adobe Carousel apps as many times and across as many devices as they want as a part of their subscription (no additional fees apply). For more information, including system requirements, visit www.photoshop.com/carousel.
