What is KeyPad for Adobe Photoshop (KPShop)?

KPShop allows you to use your iPad as a remote to wirelessly control Photoshop while drawing or retouching. Novice users get to learn Photoshop by having most functionalities at their fingertips - instead of drilling down obscure menus and submenus. Power users already know to use keyboard shortcuts to access functions while working - leaving... Read More their hands on the mouse or tablet pen. KPShop gets you to explore Photoshop to its full potential and makes your workflow more efficient either way.

Why KPShop?

Memorizing keyboard shortcuts for one application isn't too bad. But a typical modern design workflow includes the use of several heavy-weight applications - each with numerous shortcuts. And these quickly get confusing across applications. KPShop helps take your mind off such details and provides for a consistent unified interface for graphical design. KPShop is part of a family of similar KeyPad apps (KPSketch for Google Sketchup, and coming soon KPLust for Adobe Illustrator, KP4D for Cinema 4D, KPFCut for Final Cut Pro, KPMaya for Maya, and more…). All share the same functionalities and interface layout so that you'll feel at home with any after using one.

KPShop includes over 300 functions easily accessible through an intuitive graphical interface. KPShop uses circular pan out menus, slider controls, dial controls, pan controls; all with colorful icons in addition to text captions, and coloring that helps group functions together intuitively. Dial in opacity or brush size; swipe to nudge; and just tap to access most photoshop drawing and editing functions, including many advanced operations.
