On April 21, Adobe has decided to bundle Adobe Fresco Premium alongside their Adobe Photoshop on the iPad plan. The plan, which is available as an in-app purchase, costs $9.99 a month. Previously, the apps were only available as separate purchases, both priced at $9.99 a month.

The new pricing strategy is similar to the Adobe Photography bundle available for desktop, which combines Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom into one, lower-cost option.

Those who already have a subscription to the desktop Photoshop Single App ($19.99 per month) and the Adobe All Apps ($59.99 per month) Creative Cloud plans get access to Fresco Premium on the iPad as well.

Adobe's blog offers a few quick tutorials showcasing how users can utilize both Photoshop and Fresco Premium on the iPad. Included are tutorials showing how a user can transform a photograph into a painting, adding watercolor splashes to designs, and adding type in Photoshop to illustrations.

Adobe Fresco includes thousands of brushes designed to emulate traditional and digital media alike. Adobe Sensei, Adobe's machine learning and artificial intelligence software, has been employed to help make Fresco's traditional media brushes behave the way real-world media does.

Adobe Fresco also features vector brushes, giving users the ability to design infinitely scalable images, useful for designers who may need to print artwork in a wide range of sizes.

    Pixelmator Photo is $5. And, not $5/month. I ditched Photoshop years ago in favor of Pixelmator on my Mac.

    Don’t care. Adobe can go screw itself in the most uncomfortable way with that whole subscription model.

    $10 a month. A MONTH??? 

    Just a quick heads up then: Affinity has all its products on sale during these “work from home” times. Their photoshop competitor is on sale for $10. Oh and that’s a one time purchase. 

    Idiots at adobe with their stupid subscriptions.

    Photoshop on iPad is a joke. Missing crucial basic functionality and a super slow rollout of -useful- new features. Adobe's primary focus is on cloud functionality per se, synced features and such, but that doesn't matter if you're not gonna use the app to start with. Photoshop is a pro tool, and in that respect it's failing its target market with the iPad version. There are dozens of alternatives for casual users, easier to use on top of that. I have a full Adobe CC subscription, so I get all the iPad apps included, but I never use them. I only use Lightroom on my iPhone since it has a very good camera module and powerful on the go editing features.

    Crazy. Photoshop for iPad isn't even finished. I tried to use it for some basic task while on vacation with only my iPad Pro and couldn't do it, switched to Pixelmator and got it done in a few minutes. 

    I subscribe to CC and have access to all apps, but it's only really worth it if you use several of them consistently like I do. The individual app pricing especially for mobile apps is pretty stupid.
