Adobe on Thursday issued the first update to its Creative Cloud-connected Photoshop Mix app for iPad, bringing hooks into Photoshop Express and Dropbox, as well as a few UI tweaks to the on-the-go image editing tool.
Photoshop Mix version 1.1 builds on Adobe's June release with a few key features that tie the app more closely with mature Creative Suite offerings like Photoshop Express.
Introduced as part of the update is Image Swap, which lets users quickly rearrange layers in a project by dragging-and-dropping thumbnails of a selected image. Round-trip editing is now available with Photoshop Express, meaning users can create quick compositions using edited photos all within the Creative Cloud ecosystem.
Users can also save full resolution JPEG and PNG files — with masking data attached — locally on an iPad's Camera Roll, while Dropbox compatibility allows import of images saved in the cloud.
Finally, UI tweaks like three-level "undo" and "redo" options have been added to the latest app version.
Photoshop Mix is available as a free 97.6MB download from the iOS App Store. The app requires Adobe's latest Lightroom 5.5 for Mac and one of the following Creative Cloud Subscriptions:
Creative Cloud Photography Plan for $9.99 per month
Creative Cloud Complete plan for $49.99 per month
Creative Cloud Student and Teacher Edition for $19.99 per month

I continue to refuse to fall for that rentware Creative Cloud offering. Adobe gets no more money from me until they make their software standalone.
Subscription? Never. I have boycotted anything Adobe after it became clear that they were treating Mac users as second rate citizens. Although I was just a casual user, I found that Pixelmator and Gimp were sufficient for my needs. Adobe will never get my support again after they betrayed us Mac users.
since creative cloud was created there have been two major refreshes of their software it is actually cheaper to have the subscription than buying.

Not everyone does. The problem I have, is that you never own the software. What if adobe later decides that their product is worth more than 9.99 a month? Maybe it's better for you to pay 19.99 a month? Then you'll have to pay 19.99 a month or say goodbye to all your work.
they don't own your work.
assuming you decide not to use creative cloud any more and stop paying there are plenty of apps that convert from one file format to another. also it takes a while for it to stop working it is not immediate.
