After long delays over hardware compatibility issues, Adobe has found a workaround to offer partial support. Project Indigo rolled out in June and uses computational photography to offer SLR-like results for iPhone users.

Adobe Premiere Pro users will be happy to hear there’s an iPhone app launching later this month, which the company is promising will be closer to the capabilities of its desktop app than the cut-down Premiere Rush app. The existing Premiere Rush iPhone app is being discontinued on September 30, the date when the new app launches. The older app had limited capabilities, requiring handoff to the Mac app for many tasks. Adobe says that the new app will be significantly more powerful, yet still simple enough for anyone to use.
