Earlier this year, a team of ex-Apple engineers released Astropad, an app designed to turn the iPad into a Graphics tablet for the Mac. Following rave reviews, the team behind Astropad decided to expand to the iPhone, and is today debuting a new Astropad Mini app.
Like the iPad version of the app, Astropad Mini transforms the iPhone into a miniaturized professional Graphics tablet that can be used With the Mac after installing the accompanying Astropad Mac app. With the Astropad Mac app installed, the Mac's display is mirrored to the iPhone, allowing the iPhone's touch controls to be used for editing photos and creating art.
Mirroring the Mac's display to the iPhone produces little to ** lag With speeds up to 60 FPS, and edits made within apps like Photoshop or Pixelmator are displayed in realtime on the Mac's display, for a seamless editing experience. Astropad Mini works With a finger or With a range of different Bluetooth-enabled styluses, supporting pressure sensitivity With certain models like the Adonit Jot Touch.
Since it's just mirroring the Mac's display, it also works With any Mac app, from photo editing apps to Graphics apps. In our testing With Photoshop CC, Astropad Mini worked lag free over WiFi, but there's also the option to plug it in via USB for an even faster connection.
Pinch and zoom gestures are supported for navigation, and there's also a set of customizable keyboard shortcuts. An optional Apple Watch app included With Astropad Mini also includes quick-access customizable shortcuts that can be selected With just a tap.
Astropad Mini works With all iPhones that have iOS 8 installed and all Macs running OS X Mavericks 10.9 or later.
Astropad Mini is available from the App Store for an introductory price of $4.99, a 50-percent discount from the eventual regular price of $9.99. [Direct Link]
