Adobe introduced three iPad apps, Eazel, Nav and Lava, working like a Photoshop CS5, according to Gadget Lab.

Eazel allows users to finger-paint on the iPad, later transmitting the results to Photoshop. Users can use wet or dry paint, control the size and opacity of the brushes, and a “Particle-stroke painting” engine lets paint spread out for a few seconds before it dries.

The next app is Nav. The 4×4 grid is customizable, with 16 favorite tools available. The app allows to browse and duplicate open documents on the iPad’s screen. This one is simple, but may turn out to be the most useful.

Lava app is a color-mixer. Anyone who has mixed oil or acrylic paints on a palette (or old piece of wood, or plastic, or whatever) will know that it is far more intuitive than sliding widgets on-screen. Lava lets you do this, interacting with colors directly and using the results in Photoshop.

These apps will soon be available for download at www.photoshop.com.
